Gold and Silver 2025
Gold and Silver are positioned for continued growth in 2025, with numerous analysts forecasting significant price increases for both precious metals. For Gold, predictions range from more conservative estimates of USD $2,700 spot to more optimistic projections of USD $3,200 spot by year-end. Several factors drive this positive outlook, including persistent geopolitical tensions, expected interest rate cuts by central banks, and robust demand from emerging market economies. Notably, Goldman Sachs forecasts Gold will reach USD $3,000 spot by the end of 2025, citing central bank purchases as a key driver for resetting Gold price levels. That would be about an increase of approximately 13.5%, well within the range of normality and expectation.
Silver Gains Bigger?
However, Gold’s little brother, Silver, is anticipated to outperform the yellow metal in 2025, with price projections from USD $30 to $56. This bullish sentiment for Silver is bolstered by growing industrial demand, particularly in renewable energy sectors, alongside an ongoing supply deficit. Experts predict the supply-demand imbalance will persist, with aboveground inventories dwindling. While a potential short-term pullback to $30 after reaching $35 may occur, analysts believe Silver will likely surge past $50, driven by sustained demand and constrained supply growth.
Both Gold and Silver face inherent risks and opportunities in 2025, including the influence of potential policy shifts under a Donald Trump presidency, which could impact economic conditions and foreign relations. Although geopolitical uncertainties and safe-haven demand are expected to support prices, economic instability and policy changes could introduce volatility. Investors are always advised to remain mindful of macroeconomic trends and broader market corrections, which may temporarily affect precious metal prices. Despite these risks, the overall outlook for both Gold and Silver in 2025 remains positive, with many experts predicting another record-breaking year for these assets.
Canada: The Year of Possibility (or Not)
Ah, 2025. Welcome to it, Delta Harbour clients and clients to be. The year that could either make or break Canada – depending on how we vote, how our global relationships go, and how far we’re willing to plunge into the great unknown—so many possibilities... or maybe just more of the same. The last year of Canadian history has been a joyous rollercoaster, and here’s why this could be the most confusing, chaotic, and downright terrifying year yet.
The Return of Trump (because we needed this)
Guess who’s back, back again? That’s right, Trump is back. Now, when you thought global politics couldn’t get raunchier, he’s promising a good time out there. I mean, don’t get me wrong, there is a certain romantic kind of attachment that is easy to form with this fella, and it stems the tide of many a demographic, but what we love most is the fact that he just speaks freely. That is, he is not woke, says what he thinks and, for millions, represents this pseudo idea of the championing of a better existence, and of course, there is some truth to it. We don’t want war. The U.S. people don’t want it; they don’t want to spend money on it, but war-mongering is as old as time and has been used as a mechanism of control for just as long.
Look, I’m as conservative as they come – I hold firm to conservative views, am all about putting people first, and believe in the core values that hold families and societies together. Family, fiscal responsibility, and the idea that you don’t spend money you can’t recover – be it as an individual or a government – are non-negotiables for me. I don’t believe in kicking the can down the road and hoping someone else cleans up the mess. So it’s with this clear, principled perspective that I look at Trump and just cringe.
Oh, the masses just love Donald Trump, don’t they? I mean, who wouldn’t? Sure, there’s absolutely no solid evidence he’s a savior or that his track record puts him anywhere near the level of past great presidents, but hey, let’s ignore all that, right? What’s important is that he talks tough, tweets like a high-schooler on a sugar rush, and somehow manages to charm an entire army of people who really want to believe that the solution to their problems lies in his hands. I mean, sure, there’s the whole misogynistic, ego-driven, lie-spitting, reality-show-wannabe persona, but who needs dignity and moral integrity when you can have “Make America Great Again” and a promise to wall out everyone who doesn’t look like you? It’s almost as if the man has a magic touch – except that magic only works for those who want to pretend all the skeletons in his closet are actually just decorative. But what’s a little misogyny, corruption, and incompetence when you’re craving a leader who speaks their mind (even when that mind is, you know, dangerously uninformed)? Ah yes, Trump – because why settle for a well-rounded, tactful leader when you can have the chaos and drama of a man who thinks “winning” is just throwing insults and blaming everyone else?
Meanwhile, our dear Prime Minister Trudeau? Oh, he’s on his way out. Not with a bang, but with a whimper, as his caucus starts to realize maybe they’ve made a mistake. Can you hear the sound of an election coming? Oh, we can. Let the chaos commence. Poilievre will need the entire fleet of John Deere tractors to shovel the BS that has been swept under the rug by the Liberal Party. But in getting to work, there is a method in the madness. He is NOT Trump, for those who think so. He is an independent thinker with much more stable ideologies and a sworn support of the “laissez-faire” or less Government intervention and more freedoms. Under Poilievre, I truly believe Canada stands a good chance at rectifying several simple issues the Liberals have failed to deal with.
In his first year as Prime Minister, Pierre Poilievre would take swift and decisive action to tackle Canada’s economic challenges head-on. With unwavering commitment, he would prioritize cutting through government inefficiencies, slashing taxes, and eliminating wasteful spending to reignite the economy. His pro-business approach would create a climate for job growth, investment, and innovation, ensuring Canadian businesses have the freedom to thrive. Poilievre would act with the urgency required to curb the rising cost of living, putting the financial security of Canadian families first. His bold leadership would confront the root causes of inflation, restore economic confidence, and set a clear course toward long-term fiscal stability, empowering Canadians to reclaim their financial future.
The Mass Exodus: No One Wants to Work
Remember when people showed up at the office? No? Yeah, that’s because it’s basically a ghost town out there. Millions of people have ditched the workplace for the sweet embrace of home offices or whatever they call it now. For all we know, most are just living their best lives in their pyjamas, collecting unemployment checks. It’s like the modern version of “If you can’t beat 'em, join 'em.” Meanwhile, retail continues its glorious collapse in 2025 because who needs brick-and-mortar stores anyway? This is happening faster than anyone realizes. Just ask your friends in commercial real estate, and they will shed a tear for what they see coming. It doesn’t get better in 2025 unfortunately.
The Housing Crisis: Spoiler: It Won’t Get Better
So, housing prices won’t come down. Surprise! While most people can barely afford to live, we’re on the verge of an even more absurd housing market. Sure, interest rates got slashed. Sure, lending rules were loosened. And yes, a bunch of tax incentives are out there. But guess what? People still don’t care about macroeconomics. They want a house, preferably with a manageable monthly payment. So, prepare for the next big FOMO crash because you know it’s coming. 2025 doesn’t change this whatsoever.
Interest Rates and the Dollar: Down, Down, Down
When you thought it couldn’t get any worse, interest rates were falling, and the Canadian dollar was about to take a nosedive. Thanks, Tariff Man, for making everything even more complicated. The Bank of Canada is on its way to lowering rates, while our dollar might sink into the abyss. So, don’t get too comfortable. We’re talking the mid-60 cent range. Excited yet?
Recession: Our Inevitable Future (Thanks, Trump)
Here’s the part you’ll love – a recession is on the horizon, and Trump’s tariffs are the gift that keeps giving. But so many of you love him, right? If he raises tariffs by 10%, our economy will turn negative. If he cranks it up, we’re talking about losing twice as much GDP as the pandemic wiped out. Unemployment might hit 8%, and hey, to make things interesting, let’s throw in a real estate spike to confuse everyone. You think Canada’s bad now? Just wait until this unfolds.
Mortgage Crisis? Nah, We’re Good... For Now
Surprise, surprise: no mortgage cliff. Thanks to slashed interest rates, people won’t be facing the massive renewals we all expected. A good chunk of the population has mortgages at shockingly low rates, and they’ll renew with little to no pain. But don’t get too excited. Politicians will panic and loosen rules even more because, well, it’s easier than dealing with the real problems.
Money, Money, Money (It’s a Good Year for It)
If you have money, congrats; 2025 might just be your year. Thanks to Trump, the “Trump Trade” will be back, and we’ll see tax cuts, deregulation, and some corporate-friendly policies that could send markets soaring. Just make sure you’ve got some of that sweet Gold and Silver action parked with your S&P, Bonds and Cash Money Markets. And don’t worry. Your tax dollars will help fund it. You’re welcome.
Conclusion: Buckle Up, It’s Gonna Be a Wild Ride
So here we are. What seemed like a reasonable 2024 has morphed into the biggest rollercoaster ride we could have imagined. With a volatile economy, impending global chaos, and a political landscape that changes with the wind, 2025 is shaping up to be... well, unpredictable. But hey, isn’t that what makes it so exciting? Grab your popcorn because this year might just be where we see everything fall apart or explode in ways we never thought possible.
Who needs stability when you’ve got the possibility, right? Make sure Silver and Gold are part of the plan, folks. Before you do, ask those you trust the most about gold and silver with your money. See if it’s right for you.
At Delta Harbour Assets, we continue to monitor these developments closely, ensuring our clients are positioned to benefit from the dynamic precious metals market in 2025 and beyond.
Now you're in the know. What you do with it is always up to you.
