Unearthed: Uncertainty Impacting the Gold Market in 2025

In this episode of Unearthed, hosts Joe Cavatoni and John Reade kick off 2025 by discussing key trends likely to shape the gold market amid global uncertainty. They highlight U.S. political developments, including the introduction of the new administration and tariff debates as significant factors impacting gold’s role in the economy. John talks about political shifts in Europe and the impact these will have on regional economies and the relationship with the US. Inflation remains a focal point, with sticky rates creating challenges for consumer confidence and demand for gold jewelry and coins. Continued central bank gold purchases, notably by China, add to the complex outlook and this episode sets the stage for an intriguing year for gold investors.   About World Gold Council We are a membership organization that champions the role gold plays as a strategic asset, shaping the future of a responsible and accessible gold supply chain.
