World Gold Council: The market widely expects the upward trend of gold to continue, but uncertainty remains high.

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, on December 5, the World Gold Council stated that in 2025, gold showed outstanding performance, hitting more than 50 historical highs throughout the year, with a cumulative increase of over 60%. This strong performance is due to multiple factors, including intensified geopolitical and economic uncertainties, a weakening US dollar, and continued upward momentum in gold prices. Looking ahead to 2026, although the market generally expects the current trend in the gold market to continue, the severe impact of geopolitical and economic factors, as well as the divergence in macroeconomic data, indicates that uncertainty will remain high. The Council's analysis shows that factors such as slowing economic growth, loose monetary policies by major central banks, and ongoing geopolitical risks are more likely to support rather than weaken gold prices.
