The Big Unknown Factor That Could Disrupt Global Markets in 2025 – Juan Carlos Artigas

Gold prices soared over 30% in 2024, shattering 40 record highs and pushing total demand past $100 billion in Q3. As geopolitical tensions rise, currencies weaken, and markets face unprecedented volatility, gold has solidified its role as the ultimate hedge. Juan Carlos Artigas, Global Head of Research at the World Gold Council, sits down to break down the forces behind gold’s stunning performance and what lies ahead for 2025.

In this must-watch analysis, Artigas explores key trends: central bank buying, shifting investor behaviors, and gold’s response to global uncertainty. He dives into three possible scenarios for the gold market in 2025, the economic implications of a Trump second term, and how ongoing risks—like European debt fears and geopolitical flashpoints in South Korea and Syria—could impact gold’s trajectory.

Don’t miss this expert breakdown on where gold could go next and why it matters for investors navigating turbulent times. Tune in now to stay ahead of the curve.
