With global GDP growth expected to slow, the gold price forecast mid 2025 points to resilience around the $2,200 mark. Asset managers are already rebalancing portfolios toward commodities to hedge equity market volatility risk, based on recent Bloomberg survey data. Economists warn that the longer the shutdown lasts, the more severe the consequences for US growth. Oxford Economics’ Ryan Sweet estimated that GDP could decline by 0.1 to 0.2 percentage points for each week of closure. A full-quarter disruption could reduce growth by as much as 2.4 percentage points. Last March, some of the most optimistic gold experts projected the spot price of gold to reach $2,300 or $2,400 per ounce in the next year or two. By summer, the price of gold surpassed $2,400 for good and has continued to set price records in the time since. Nearly a year later, the price of gold is over $2,950 per ounce (as of February 24, 2025) and if the current trajectory continues, the price may soon surpass the $3,000 mark . Macro strategists agree the gold price forecast mid 2025 may test $2,300 given lower real yields and tentative Fed pivot in monetary policy. Bloomberg terminal data show commodity inflows accelerating since March.
