Why 2025 will be the year of Gold [Video]

It's official: Google searches for the phrase “How To Trade Gold” are now back at the highest level seen since 2020.

This comes as no surprise, considering the current macroeconomic backdrop is fuelling a perfect storm for Gold – firmly positioning the yellow metal as the world’s Number One “Trump Trade” of 2025.

At the beginning of the year, analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence dubbed 2025 “The Year of Gold” – And now we're starting to see why!

Fast forward to the present day and it's fair to say that Gold is not just having a great start to the year. But in fact, the world's favourite precious metal is having one of its best starts to the year ever in history.

Since President Trump's inauguration in January – Gold prices have been on a parabolic run – rising every single week this year to score new all-time record highs – not once, not twice, but on 9 separate occasions, so far in 2025.

Yes, you heard that correctly.

Gold has set new all-time record highs 9 times, so far in 2025.

And by the time you finished reading this, that tally could very easily be a lot higher.

Gold has outperforming every other major asset class since President Trump's inauguration including Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500, the Magnificent Seven Stocks and Bitcoin.

Last week, Gold prices skyrocketing to a new all-time record high of $2,942 an ounce, surpassing the precious metals previous all-time high of $2,921 an ounce reached only a day earlier.

The yellow metal is now up over 12% since the beginning of this year. But even more remarkably, Gold prices have now chalked up a whopping gain of almost 43% since January 2024 when the metal was trading at $2,065 an ounce mark.

Gold's record-breaking run, since President Trump's inauguration has been nothing short of impressive. Never before in history have we seen the precious metal score multiple all-time record highs in such a short space of time.

As Gold prices continue their unstoppable run higher, scaling new all-time record highs for a sixth consecutive quarter in a row – analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence are convinced that we are still in the early stages of a “new historic Supercycle for Gold”.

In a note to clients, analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence wrote “Gold is not just making new highs in 2025, but it’s really breaking out. That's a tell-tale sign that this rally is just getting started”.

The big question now is: How High Will Gold Prices Go This Year?

Only time will tell, however one thing we do know for certain is that the stars appear to be aligning for Gold, which ultimately suggests it won't take much for prices to break new record highs in the coming weeks, if not days ahead!
