2025: Is This the Year to Invest in Gold with Hatton Garden Metals?
The year 2024 saw one of the largest surges in gold prices, with an impressive rise of nearly 28.5% from the start to the end of the year. This dramatic growth propelled gold into the spotlight, making headlines and highlighting the investment opportunities it offers.
While we don’t have a crystal ball to predict the future, we can share our outlook for 2025 from the team at Hatton Garden Metals.
Zoe, General Manager
There is no doubt a year of changing coming across global markets and the precious metals market will be no exception. Gold has seen a bullish market at the start of 2025, perhaps a glimpse of what’s to come…? The strength of US Dollar under the new US President Trump along with rates of inflation and interest rates will as ever play an important role on the volatility of the metals markets. Looking more locally at the UK market the tax free and capital gains tax benefits of owning gold coins make buying physical gold a strong option amongst UK tax payers. With the gold market rising 30% in 2024 alone investors are realising gains on their investment in shorter time periods than we’ve ever seen in the market. The confidence is there in the market, silver saw even larger gains in 2024, and precious metals are becoming more accessible for a larger variety of investors. More world Mints are producing gold in fractional sizes, the Suisse are producing bars in smaller sizes- allowing clients of all sizes to own their slice of gold for an accessible price point.

Less than a month into 2025, gold has already reached a record high. This remarkable start has been driven by a surge of interest from new investors entering the market and existing clients consistently expanding their portfolios. Physical gold has truly become an investment for everyone, appealing to seasoned investors and newcomers alike.
Historically, gold has demonstrated a steady appreciation in value, and the current landscape suggests this upward trend is set to continue. With evolving global events and economic shifts, gold has not only retained its status as a safe-haven asset but also reached its highest price ever. As we step into 2025, the gold market is already showing signs of another strong year, reinforcing its enduring appeal and reliability.

The year has already kicked off strongly, particularly for CGT-exempt options like the ever-popular Gold Britannia’s and Gold Sovereigns.
We’re also noticing a growing interest from new investors who value the security and technological peace of mind provided by certificated gold bars. Refiners have gone the extra mile to offer enhanced customer confidence with features like unique serial numbers and QR codes for verification.
As 2025 unfolds, the market continues to show promise. Whether you’re looking to diversify your portfolio or start a new investment journey, this could be the year to consider gold.
Tom, Operations Manager
I see the gold price shifting towards stable, sustained growth rather than experiencing volatile movements. Talks of peace, led by newly elected President Donald Trump, are likely to instill confidence in both the gold market and the U.S. economy. This renewed optimism may reduce the drastic demand for safe-haven investments, leading to smaller market fluctuations.
Gold's strong historic performance continues to inspire confidence among investors. This will likely drive gradual increases in the market, solidifying its reputation as a reliable and proven investment. As a result, gold is expected to return to being a long-term growth strategy for investors, moving away from the short-term, high-volatility gains that characterized 2024.
Whether you're a seasoned investor or a first-time buyer, Hatton Garden Metals is here to help you purchase gold with confidence this year.
