World Gold Council: Gold maintains record pace of rise in the first half of the year

According to a report by Golden Finance, the World Gold Council has released its mid year outlook for gold in 2025, stating that gold continues to maintain a record pace, with a 26% increase in US dollar denominated prices in the first half of 2025, and returns in various currencies reaching double digits. The weakening of the US dollar, range bound interest rates, and highly uncertain geopolitical environment have led to strong investment demand.
