Gold's Stellar 2024 Performance and Bullish Momentum for 2025

Gold emerged as one of the best asset classes in 2024 with its strongest annual performance in over a decade, rising 27%. This rally has been driven by a combination of central bank and investor demand, lower real yields, and heightened geopolitical risks.

As the global economy enters a new phase shaped by protectionist trade policies, potential tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty under a renewed Trump administration, the case for gold as a safe-haven investment remains robust.

Gold’s Role in a Balanced Portfolio 

Gold is more than just a commodity—it’s a key diversification tool. Historically, it has shown a low correlation with equities and bonds, meaning it can help balance risk in a portfolio. In 2022, when global equities declined by 20%, gold delivered gains, reinforcing its role as a stabilizing asset.

With multiple ways to gain exposure—including physical gold, ETFs, and gold mining equities—investors have options to capitalize on gold’s strength.
