The likelihood of a recession is "getting close to 50-50."

"Barring an unforeseeable event, the economy should grow even better in 2025 than it did in 2023 and 2024."

"The threat of a recession is real."

"Contrary to popular perception, the US is at greater risk of a recession than it was in early 2022."

Gold prices topped $4,000 per ounce for the first time on Tuesday, reaching an intraday high of $4,014.60 before closing at $4,004.40.

The price of the commodity has risen by around 50% this year, with reports claiming the climb is being driven by central bank buying, increased demand for gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as uncertainty in global trade and geopolitics.
