After beating most assets in 2024, gold is poised to continue its bullish trajectory. While positive catalysts like central bank purchases and inflation concerns still loom, the market sees President-elect Donald Trump's second term as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">major volatility driver</a>.
&#8220;Although gold's momentum stalled in November as Donald Trump's win at the polls drove a surge in risk assets and the U.S. dollar, we think its price still has room to run in 2025,&#8221;<a href="https://www.ssga.com/au/en_gb/institutional/insights/gold-2025-outlook-more-room-to-run"> noted</a> State Street Global Advisors, an investment management division of the world's fourth largest asset manager.
Among their gold strength catalysts are robust central bank demand, growing consumer investment in Asia, and the fiscal and monetary uncertainty stemming from Trump's anticipated policies. "Gold remains an essential hedge against rising inflation, geopolitical instability, and potential currency devaluations," the firm stated.
Trump's second term, set to begin on Jan. 20, is expected to intensify market volatility. Tariff policies could stoke cost-push inflation, particularly the threat of up to 60% tariffs on Chinese imports. These tariffs would likely pressure the U.S. dollar, making gold an attractive hedge, State Street said.
In contrast, a strong dollar—buoyed by higher interest rates or foreign asset flows—could temper gold's gains (owing to the historical inverse relationship). However, central bank purchases may offset this effect.
Since 2022, central banks have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38649656/how-chinas-central-bank-gold-buying-frenzy-drove-prices-to-record-highs-attracting-gen-z-to-gold-bea">purchased 2,700 tons of gold</a>, the fastest pace in recent history, reflecting a deliberate move to diversify away from dollar-heavy reserves. Emerging markets, in particular, have accelerated de-dollarization efforts as geopolitical tensions rise. For example, India significantly expanded its gold reserves. Cultural significance, increased investment options like ETFs, and favorable tax reforms have bolstered demand.
Drawing historical parallels, State Street sees Trump's policies—marked by tax cuts, increased defense spending, and tariff strategies—as comparable to George W. Bush's tenure, during which gold rallied 221% amid growing federal debt and accommodative monetary policies.
State Street projects three scenarios for gold in 2025:
<ul>
<li>Base Case (50% Probability): $2,600-$2,900/oz. Robust central bank purchases and steady Asian demand maintain a soft price floor.</li>
<li>Bull Case (30% Probability): $2,900-$3,100/oz. Weaker dollar and Fed rate cuts spur ETF inflows and bolster Asian demand.</li>
<li>Bear Case (20% Probability): $2,200-$2,600/oz. Strong US growth and dollar strength lead to ETF outflows, though central bank buying provides support.</li>
</ul>
State Street's specialized gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), is up 26.04% year-to-date.

Avinger Awarded U.S. Patent 'US 12171407 B2' For 'ATHERECTOMY CATHETER DRIVE ASSEMBLIES'

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40985018/mark-cubans-black-amex-card-was-declined-trying-to-buy-a-140-000-bottle-of-champagne-after-his-n">Billionaire Mark Cuban</a> shared some candid insights about parenting on The Steam Room Podcast in November, hosted by Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson. When Barkley asked Cuban how he avoids spoiling his kids despite his massive fortune, Cuban responded with a phrase that's as sharp as it is simple: "It's my money, not yours."
It's a sentiment echoed by other wealthy parents, like Shaquille O'Neal, who famously said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40943843/we-aint-rich-im-rich-nba-legend-shaq-says-his-daughters-and-sons-dont-get-equal-treatment-my-boy">"We ain't rich, I'm rich"</a> and Bill and Melinda Gates, who emphasized a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40015377/bill-gates-children-will-only-inherit-10-million-0-0077-of-his-net-worth-leaving-kids-massive-am">middle-class upbringing</a>" for their kids. But Cuban's take feels especially personal when you hear how he talks about his three kids.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
"You know what it's like," Cuban told Barkley. "Your kids – no, you think they're going to be like you and your wife, but they end up being their own little humans." He described his children&#8217;s unique personalities: "One takes advantage, the other two don't. The middle one rebels against it … and my son, the youngest, takes advantage a little bit of tech because he knows I'll give in."
Even so, Cuban insists on keeping things grounded at home. "They still have to wash dishes, they still have to clean up after themselves – most of the time," he said. While he acknowledges that it's not easy – "They're getting on a private plane most of the time and it's not like we can hide it from them" – he's determined to avoid the trap of throwing material things at them as a solution. "You're mad at me? Let me buy you something. You're sad? Let me buy you something. That's just not how it works."

The conversation feels refreshingly human, especially coming from someone whose life seems anything but ordinary. It's one thing to talk about discipline when your kids are flying coach, but Cuban's perspective shows that the challenges of raising "grateful and great human beings," as Barkley put it, exist at every level.
It's a mindset shared by other high-profile figures like Shaq, who requires his kids to earn two degrees before they can access his wealth. The underlying principle? Wealth shouldn't define your kids but challenge them to find their paths.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Illumina Stock In The Last 20 Years

In the current session, the stock is trading at $113.82, after a 0.65% spike. Over the past month, Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) stock increased by 11.50%, and in the past year, by 91.51%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Comparing Arista Networks P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Arista Networks has a better P/E ratio of 54.3 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 49.32 of the Communications Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Arista Networks Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
