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.

Google’s Pixel 10a Redefines Budget Smartphones With Innovative Flat Design

Google introduced the Pixel 10a with a flat rear design, removing the camera bump seen in previous models. Device targets the mid-range segment with updates to display, battery and software support. The model is positioned below the flagship Pixel 10 lineup. Changes focus on usability and core hardware improvements.

Revolutionary Flat Profile

Pixel 10a features a flat back without a raised camera module. Design differs from recent smartphones, which typically include camera bumps. A flat surface improves stability when placed on a table. Change also simplifies the overall device form.

Enhanced Display And Performance

The device includes a 6.3-inch display, consistent with the previous model. Screen supports up to 3,000 nits of brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate, set to 60Hz by default. Display is part of Google’s Actua series. The panel is designed to improve visibility in bright conditions.

Hardware And Charging Innovations

Pixel 10a uses a plastic back and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, compared to higher-end materials on Pixel 10. Build reflects its lower price segment. Battery capacity reaches 5,100 mAh. The device supports 30W charging via USB-C. Hardware is designed for daily use, including video streaming, apps and gaming. Bezels are slightly thicker than on flagship models.

Camera And AI Capabilities

The camera system includes a 48-megapixel main sensor and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Set up supports standard photography scenarios. Ultra-wide camera lacks autofocus and has lower detail performance. The device supports up to 8x zoom. Software features include AI-based tools for framing and image selection. Processing differs from higher-end Pixel models.

Value Proposition And Competitive Landscape

Pixel 10a is priced at $499 and includes seven years of software and security updates. Device targets users seeking long-term support and balanced performance. Upgrade may be limited for users of Pixel 9a. Competing devices in the same price range offer alternative specifications, including faster charging and additional camera features.
