Metals price outlook 2025

Explore the complexities shaping the global economic landscape in 2025. As developed economies face diverging growth rates, interest rate expectations are shifting. The Trump administration's proposed tariffs and stricter immigration policies add uncertainty, influencing inflation and prompting a more hawkish US Federal Reserve stance. Despite a strong US dollar, marked by a 7.0% increase in the US Dollar Index (DXY) in 2024, unresolved debt ceiling issues pose significant risks.

In Europe, Germany, and France, the eurozone's leading economies, struggle with sluggish growth due to declining export demand and political uncertainty. Meanwhile, China's economy faces challenges like weakened consumer confidence, pandemic-related balance sheet issues, and efforts to reduce leverage in real estate and local government sectors. Geopolitical tensions, such as US trade tariffs, further complicate China's export growth and foreign investment landscape.

These multifaceted economic changes and geopolitical tensions highlight the need for strategic insights. Our comprehensive report delves into these dynamics, examining their implications for global markets and policymaking.
