Gold prices have risen by 24% year-to-date, reaching a one-week high of $2,621.95 per ounce on November 19, 2024. This increase is attributed to a softer U.S. dollar and market anticipation of Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs project that gold could reach $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025, driven by central bank purchases and potential U.S. interest rate cuts.

Bitcoin has experienced a 113% increase year-to-date, recently trading below $91,600 after peaking at $92,593. The cryptocurrency’s surge is fueled by institutional investments and the approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Analysts predict that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by the end of the year, with some forecasts suggesting a potential rise to $200,000 by the end of 2025.

A growing number of investors are incorporating both gold and Bitcoin into their portfolios to hedge against economic uncertainties. A survey by State Street Global Advisors revealed that 38% of investors with at least $250,000 in assets held gold in 2024, up from 20% in 2023.

Similarly, significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have been observed, indicating increased institutional interest in the cryptocurrency.
