Paul Williams, a managing director at UK bullion dealer Solomon Global, said: 'We're seeing continued growth in demand as investors turn to gold as a safeguard in unpredictable markets. 'Our clients value gold for its stability and resilience in a volatile world.' Solomon Global said gold sales were up 93 per cent in March compared to a year earlier.
In a world grappling with geopolitical conflicts and economic uncertainty, gold has provided stability and security for investors. The record highs achieved last year reflect not just market conditions but also a broader sentiment of caution and hedging against risk. This context looks set to continue in 2025.
Gold’s record-breaking performance in GBP reflects local and global economic conditions. Gold shone on the global stage throughout 2024, and the factors that led to its stellar performance don’t look to be abating in 2025. As the UK navigates economic challenges, many are turning to the asset as a stable and reliable investment. This trend underscores gold’s enduring appeal as a hedge against uncertainty and a means to safeguard wealth.
The political landscape is changing at a rapid rate throughout Europe and the US. As a recognised safe haven asset, gold provides a buffer against geopolitical instability that might destabilise other asset classes.
