Goldman Sachs Predicts Gold Prices To Surge To $3,700 By Late 2025

by News Editor

April 15, 2025

In a bold forecast, Goldman Sachs has increased its gold price prediction to $3,700 per ounce by the end of 2025. This adjustment comes amid unexpected demand from central banks and a strengthening perception of recession risks, drawing investors towards gold ETFs.

Key Points

Initial forecasts pegged the price at $3,300, but central banks’ monthly gold acquisitions, averaging 80 tons — much higher than the 17-ton average before 2022 — have warranted a forecast revision.
Gold prices have already seen a significant increase of over 23% in 2025, surpassing the $3,200 mark for the first time.
Should central banks continue acquiring at an accelerated pace, or if a recession prompts a capital influx into ETFs, gold could rise to $3,880 within this year.

What To Watch

Economists estimate a 45% chance of a U.S. recession within 12 months, potentially redirecting capital to gold ETFs. Should central banks ramp up purchases to 100 tons monthly, or recession-driven demand persist, gold might reach $3,880 by year-end. Alternatively, if economies show resilience and political uncertainty lessens, gold prices could stabilize around $3,550.

Cyprus Hotels See Gradual Booking Recovery Amid Summer Uncertainty

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

June 1, 2026

The Cyprus hotel industry is experiencing a cautious rebound in booking activity, though current figures remain below seasonal expectations. Thanos Michaelides, Chairman of the Cyprus Hoteliers Association (Pasyxe), highlighted the ongoing challenges during recent remarks, noting that May’s performance fell short of potential while forecasting a similar trend for June.

Booking Trends And Seasonal Impact

Reservation activity has picked up in recent months, yet the gap created by the slowdown in March has not been fully recovered. According to Michaelides, May underperformed relative to expectations, while June is expected to follow a similar pattern. The sector is now looking to stronger demand in the coming weeks to support occupancy during the peak summer months. A continued increase in last-minute bookings could help improve performance in July and August, which traditionally represent the busiest period of the tourism season.

Monitoring Developments For Summer Forecasting

Pasyxe continues to closely monitor booking trends and market developments as hoteliers assess prospects for the remainder of the summer. “We need to monitor the situation constantly to have a more correct forecast of how the summer season will develop,” Michaelides said. The association expects booking patterns over the next few weeks to provide a clearer picture of demand for the peak holiday period.

Market Dynamics And Strategic Responses

Demand from Israel is beginning to recover, offering a potential boost to Cyprus’ tourism sector. Michaelides noted that the Israeli market has historically responded quickly to changing conditions and could contribute to stronger occupancy levels if current trends continue. To support demand, many hotels have introduced additional discounts for tour operators and domestic travelers, aiming to remain competitive while encouraging new reservations.

The Role Of Human Capital In Tourism

Alongside demand concerns, the sector continues to face workforce challenges. Michaelides welcomed government support measures introduced in April to help businesses address staffing shortages and operational pressures. He emphasized that service quality remains one of Cyprus’ key competitive advantages, arguing that skilled personnel continue to play a central role in shaping the visitor experience and supporting the island’s tourism industry.
