World Gold Council: The price of gold is expected to hit its best annual performance in more than 10 years. It is expected that there will be a positive but moderate growth next year. According to the report of the World Gold Council, the price of gold is expected to hit its best annual performance in more than 10 years, with an increase of 28% as of November. Behind this, the purchases of the central bank and investors offset the significant slowdown in consumer demand. Looking ahead, all eyes are focused on the impact of Trump's second term on the global economy. The current forecast of GDP, yield and inflation shows that gold will have a positive but much more moderate growth in 2025. The upward trend may benefit from a sharp drop in interest rates, an increase in volatility, or the continuous higher-than-average demand for gold by the central bank. On the contrary, higher long-term interest rates or weak demand for gold consumption may bring headwinds.Podolyak, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, said in an interview with Channel 24 that Kiev was ready to negotiate with Russia, according to a report on the website of Russian satellite news agency on December 12th.
