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.

Meta’s Reality Labs Deepens Its Losses Even As Revenue Climbs

July 30, 2026

Meta Platforms’ Reality Labs division reported an operating loss of $4.62 billion in the second quarter, highlighting the continued cost of the company’s investments in virtual and augmented reality technologies. The unit generated revenue of $431 million, up from $370 million a year earlier and above analysts’ expectations of $423.4 million, according to StreetAccount. Operating losses widened from $4.53 billion in the same quarter of 2025.

Revenue Grows As Losses Continue

Despite higher revenue, Reality Labs remains one of Meta’s biggest cost centres. Since late 2020, the division has accumulated more than $80 billion in operating losses as the company continues investing in hardware and software for its long-term computing strategy.

Focus Shifts Toward AI Wearables

Reality Labs develops the Quest virtual reality headsets and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. While Meta originally positioned the division around its metaverse vision, the company has increasingly focused on AI-powered wearables as demand for virtual reality devices has grown more slowly than expected.

Long-Term Investment

Meta renamed Facebook to Meta in 2021 to reflect its strategy of expanding beyond social media through immersive technologies. Although Reality Labs continues to report multi-billion-dollar quarterly losses, Zuckerberg has maintained that investments in AI, wearable devices and next-generation computing platforms are central to the company’s long-term growth strategy.
