With fewer than eight weeks to go to the opening of the 2025 CIBJO Congress in Paris, France, on October 27, 2025, the third of the pre-congress Special Reports has been released. Prepared by the CIBJO Precious Metals Commission, headed by Vaishali Banerjee, the report provides a comprehensive look at the gold, platinum, palladium and silver markets, considering supply, demand, pricing and the instilling of principles related to sustainability and ESG.
“In a world marked by economic divergence, inflation uncertainty, and geopolitical flux, precious metals – led by gold – continued to assert their relevance, not just as financial safe havens but as vital industrial assets and cultural touchstones,” writes Banerjee.
The dramatic rise of the gold price in 2025, which peaked at $3,500 per ounce on April 22, was a key factor, deciding policy not only on its own investment markets, but also on the trade of the other precious metals. Other factors included the rapid of electricity-driven automobiles, which reduced the use of certain precious metals in industry, while raising the demand for other precious metals.
“The precious metals landscape in 2024 was defined by volatility and shifting regional dynamics,” noted Banerjee. “In 2025, the sector is set to be shaped by record-high gold prices, rising platinum jewelery demand and clean energy momentum, continued supply pressures in palladium, and silver’s pivotal role in the accelerating energy transition.”
