Gold’s Biggest Buyer Isn’t Backing Down

Gold remains one of the most interesting stories in the financial market today.

While retail investors – more like traders – are hyperfocused on the gyrations of the stock market, central banks keep backing up the truck to buy the metal.

The latest data from the World Gold Council and Goldman Sachs suggests there’s far more buying ahead in 2025 – on top of a surge in buying in recent quarters after a slowdown in 2024.

With this much big money moving into gold, any drop lower on short-term headline news – like President Trump delaying tariffs – could mean a reasonable buying opportunity for patient investors.

And with gold demand soaring, alternatives to the metal itself, such as mining stocks, may be the sleeper hit in this year’s volatile stock market.

P.S. We’ve recently released new research on today’s markets, and how President Trump is following through on a Great Reset of the U.S. economy. This first phase isn’t pretty – we call it the Great Fire. Click here for more details. It could mean a good reason why retail investors may finally give gold a push higher – potentially taking it to $4,000 this year before greater heights in the years ahead.

Even retail investors are now increasingly skeptical of the AI space, particularly its cash flow. And rightly so…
