Craig Hemke highlights that central bank demand remains a key driver for precious metals, with gold prices expected to rise significantly in 2025. The yield curve inversion, a historical signal of recessions, suggests caution in the broader market, especially as US debt levels continue to rise. Hemke advises investors to be selective in the mining sector, noting that passive investing could cause them to miss profitable opportunities in mining stocks. He also emphasizes the importance of monitoring global economic signals, like China’s monetary policy, and understanding market liquidity when forming investment strategies.
