World Gold Council: Gold prices maintained record highs in the first half of the year

the World Gold Council released the 2025 Mid-Year Gold Outlook report, stating that gold continues to rise at a record pace, with a 26% increase in the first half of 2025 when priced in US dollars, and double-digit returns in various currency denominations. A weak US dollar, interest rates in a range, and a highly uncertain geopolitical economic environment have led to strong investment demand.
