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.

In parallel, a revised variable remuneration framework allows selected senior executives to receive up to 200% of fixed pay.

Governance And Audit Oversight Reforms

Changes were also made at the board level. Alexandra Reich was appointed as an independent non-executive director, replacing Jawaid Mirza. Following this appointment, eight of the thirteen board members are classified as independent. Amendments to the articles of association introduce flexibility in board terms and allow partial renewals.

Strengthening Audit And Sustainability Commitments

On the audit side, KPMG Certified Auditors S.A. was appointed as the statutory auditor for 2026. The fee is set at €1.8 million for statutory audits of separate and consolidated financial statements, with an additional €0.3 million allocated for assurance of the sustainability statement. The meeting also approved the 2025 remuneration report and confirmed committee fee arrangements, alongside updates on audit committee activity and independent director reporting.
