Gold has experienced a historic year in 2024, with prices surging over 30% year-to-date and breaking 40 record highs. Total gold demand surpassed $100 billion for the first time in Q3, driven by its role as a hedge against rising geopolitical tensions, currency debasement, and market volatility. Juan Carlos Artigas, Global Head of Research at the World Gold Council, joins Kitco News to analyze the drivers behind gold's exceptional performance and explore its potential trajectory in 2025. From central bank buying trends to shifts in consumer and investor behavior, Artigas provides a comprehensive breakdown of the forces shaping the precious metals market. As we look ahead to 2025, what factors will dictate gold’s performance? Artigas discusses three potential scenarios for the gold market, the impact of Trump’s second term on global economic growth, and the ongoing significance of currency debasement. He also highlights emerging risks like European sovereign debt concerns and geopolitical instability in regions like South Korea and Syria.
