Gold has been one of the most sought-after assets for centuries, and in the modern era, it has become a highly popular component of investment portfolios. A preferred asset for protection against economic risks, gold has delivered attractive long-term returns, increasing by approximately 8% per year over the past two decades. Since the end of 2023, the precious metal has experienced significant growth, consistently reaching new historical highs. In 2024, it was one of the best-performing assets.
“We expect these trends to continue in 2025”, says Claudiu Diaconu, majority shareholder and CEO of RAFINOR, the first and only modern-standard precious metals refinery in Romania. “Most analysts continue to look optimistically at the gold market, given the global economic context and anticipated monetary policies. Investing in gold is a good opportunity for those looking to capitalize on trends in this economic segment”, added the representative of the Romanian company.
RAFINOR’s CEO estimates Romania will also see increased interest in investment gold in 2025. Accordingly, RAFINOR forecasts the sale of 150 kilograms of investment gold through its main distributor, the MAGNOR store network.
Based on estimates from the American banking giant J.P. Morgan, gold is expected to reach $2,900–$3,000 per ounce by mid-2025 and $3,100–$3,200 per ounce by the end of the year. In addition to gold, J.P. Morgan also predicts growth for other precious metals: silver could reach $38 per ounce, up from its current level of $31, while platinum is expected to reach $1,200 per ounce, an increase from $960.
“We can anticipate new historical highs in gold prices in the coming years, supported by several factors, including favourable monetary policies, geopolitical uncertainties, and robust demand from central banks”, emphasizes the CEO of RAFINOR. The company specializes in selling investment gold bars, semi-finished gold bars, and industrial products for jewellery, retail, medical, technological, and other sectors.
Advantages of Investing in Gold
