    • The move eased concerns about central bank independence<\/strong> and calmed financial markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n


      \ud83d\udcc9 Shift Away from Safe-Havens:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Annual Outlook Remains Strong<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Despite the recent drop, gold is still up around 30% year-to-date<\/strong> in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Supportive long-term factors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Global inflationary pressures<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Loose monetary policies<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Ongoing political instability worldwide<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
