Gold Price Forecast

World gold prices increased at the end of the week despite the increase in the USD index. Recorded at 7:00 a.m. on January 12, 2025, the US Dollar Index, which measures the fluctuations of the greenback against 6 major currencies, was at 109,490 points (up 0.45%).

This past week, Kitco News collected opinions from 208 investors for the Kitco News Top Metals 2025 survey. The results showed that more than half of the participants predicted that gold would continue to outperform all other metals in 2025.

106 traders, or 51 percent, believe gold will lead the way this year. Meanwhile, 74 investors, or 36 percent, predict silver will be the best performing metal in 2025. 17, or 8 percent, say copper will be the best performer. The remaining 11, or 5 percent, believe platinum and palladium will outperform other metals this year.

Like investors, most Wall Street experts also have a bias towards gold. However, a large number of major banks and industry experts predict that silver could surpass gold by the end of the year.

Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, believes that silver could surpass gold in 2025.

“This year’s silver rally is fundamentally no different from previous rallies. Silver still mirrors gold’s moves, but with greater intensity. Often referred to as “power gold,” silver tends to move up and down more aggressively than its stable sibling,” Hansen said.

Hansen said silver will only reach a 12-year high in 2024, while gold continues to hit record highs. “With its dual role of balancing investment and industrial demand, silver could outperform gold next year,” he said.
