Gold and Silver Price Outlook: Temporary Correction Before Potential Rally in 2025
A leading research entity specializing in global metals market analysis has attributed the recent decline in gold and silver prices to a temporary easing of geopolitical tensions. However, the long-term outlook remains bullish, with expectations of further gains in the second half of 2025.
According to an industry source, gold prices were projected to reach $3,500 per ounce during the first half of the year — a target that has already been achieved. The market is currently undergoing a correction phase that could last several months, but the long-term forecast suggests that gold may exceed $4,000 per ounce later in the year or in 2026, especially if geopolitical volatility and policy uncertainty return to the forefront.
The source noted that surpassing the $3,500 level would likely require a resurgence in global uncertainty and shifts in monetary policy trends, which may materialize toward the end of the year.
Silver: A Hybrid Investment with Precious and Industrial Value
When asked about the silver market outlook, the source noted that silver has lagged behind gold due to weak industrial demand for silver. However, there is growing optimism that silver prices could reach $40 per ounce. Silver is considered an attractive asset because it straddles both precious metal investment and industrial utility.
Recent gains in silver have been driven mainly by investor sentiment, with industrial usage taking a back seat. However, that dynamic may change as economic conditions stabilize. The source also pointed out that the implementation of tariffs has led to a temporary slowdown in trade, though a rebound in industrial activity is expected in the coming quarters.
