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

Social Media Platform X Revises Creator Payout Strategies Amid Global Backlash

X announced changes to its creator monetization policy but paused the rollout after user criticism. An update would have adjusted how payouts are calculated based on audience location. The decision was reversed shortly after the announcement. The company said the policy will be reviewed.

New Payout Policy Rationale

X planned to shift payout calculations toward impressions from a creator’s home region. The previous model relied more on overall engagement, including international audiences. Head of Product Nikita Bier said the change aimed to reduce incentives to target larger markets such as the U.S. or Japan. The company expected the update to promote content relevant to local audiences.

Immediate Backlash And Policy Reversal

Users criticized the update, saying it would disadvantage creators publishing in global languages such as English. Concerns focused on reduced earnings potential in regions with lower platform activity. Elon Musk said the rollout would be paused following feedback. The company has not provided a timeline for a revised policy.

A Continuum Of Policy Adjustments

Update follows a series of recent policy changes by X. In November, the platform added profile labels indicating account location to address misinformation risks. Earlier this year, X introduced rules that suspend payouts for up to 90 days if users post misleading AI-generated content about conflicts without disclosure. Policy applies to monetized creators. The company continues to adjust moderation and monetization rules as it tests platform governance tools.
