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.

Apple’s Private Relay Flaw Could Expose Users’ Real IP Addresses

Apple’s Private Relay, a privacy feature designed to conceal users’ IP addresses while browsing with Safari, can be bypassed under certain conditions, allowing websites to identify a user’s real IP address, according to security researchers.

The researchers have published their findings and launched an online tool that lets users check whether their IP address is exposed despite having Private Relay enabled. Independent testing has confirmed that the issue can reveal a user’s actual IP address in some cases.

Issue Linked To WebKit

According to researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk, the vulnerability stems from three features within WebKit, Apple’s browser engine used across iOS browsers.

Unlike a traditional virtual private network (VPN), Private Relay protects browsing activity only within Safari and is available exclusively to iCloud+ subscribers. Because the feature operates at the browser level rather than across the entire operating system, its privacy protections are more limited than those offered by a VPN.

Researchers Bypass Apple’s Reporting Process

Rather than reporting the issue through Apple’s security programme, the researchers chose to disclose their findings publicly. Mysk said previous interactions with Apple had been marked by lengthy delays, inconsistent communication and disagreements over the significance of reported vulnerabilities, leading the team to publish the research directly.

Apple has not publicly commented on the findings. The researchers also said their own privacy-focused browser, Psylo, includes safeguards designed to prevent this type of IP address leakage.
