Three forces converged to create perfect conditions for gold:
1. Geopolitical Uncertainty Heightened global tensions drove safe-haven demand throughout the year.
2. Central Bank Buying Emerging market central banks continued strategic gold accumulation, with purchases well above the long-term average.
3. Dollar Weakness & Lower Rates A weaker US dollar and declining interest rates reduced the opportunity cost of holding gold.
Q1: Strong Start The fund gained 11.7% in Q1, setting the tone for the year with gold breaking through resistance levels.
Q3: The Surge August and September delivered back-to-back gains of +9.54% and +13.17% respectively, as gold raced to new highs above $4,200/oz.
October: Healthy Correction After gold peaked at $4,294/oz on October 20th, a -4.20% pullback provided a “healthy breather” in the uptrend.
November: Recovery The fund bounced back strongly with a +7.78% gain, demonstrating resilience.
The outlook remains constructive. Three scenarios are in play:
| Scenario | Gold Impact | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Shallow Slip | +5% to +15% | Likely |
| Doom Loop | +15% to +30% | Possible |
| Reflation Return | -5% to -20% | Less Likely |
Key support levels at $3,800/oz and $3,500/oz should attract buyers on any pullback. Resistance sits at $4,420–$4,675/oz.
2025 was an exceptional year for gold investors. The Agio Gold Sector Fund’s +48.96% return demonstrates the value of our proprietary Monetary Model in navigating gold market cycles.
With central banks continuing to buy, geopolitical risks persisting, and monetary conditions supportive, gold’s long-term bull trend remains intact heading into 2026.
