World Bank Admits 70% of Economies Are Sputtering—But Gold, Silver, and Platinum Are Poised to Soar Over 30%
The Collapse Creeps In
The World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects report just quietly acknowledged that we’re spiraling into the slowest growth decade since the 1960s—unless you count outright recessions. They’ve dialed back 2025’s global growth forecast to 2.3%, and nearly 70% of world economies are already facing downgrades. That’s not a slowdown; that’s a worldwide economic bleed-out.
And don’t think developing countries are going to save us. According to Indermit Gill of the World Bank, the “developing world is becoming a development-free zone.” Growth has withered from 6% in the 2000s to under 4% in the 2020s. The global trade engine is stalling out. Investment? Weak. Debt? Towering.
Precious Metals: The Lifeline in the Storm
But while economies buckle, precious metals are preparing for a rebellion.
Gold, silver, and platinum—real, tangible wealth—are poised to “buck the broader trend,” according to the same World Bank report. Their price index is projected to surge more than 30% in 2025. That’s not speculation—that’s the system quietly whispering that fiat faith is crumbling.
The World Bank frames this as a byproduct of commodity price depression and trade disruption. But we know better. When governments choke markets with tariffs, and currencies are inflated to the moon, the smart money flees to metals that can’t be printed into oblivion.
The Data They Don’t Want You to Think About
Base and industrial metals? Tanking. Copper and aluminum? Up one day, down the next, flailing in the face of tariff whiplash and political uncertainty. The GEP even projects a 10% fall in overall commodity prices in 2025. But not precious metals. Why?
Because even the World Bank can’t hide the fact that gold and its noble cousins are the go-to assets in times of distrust and decay. These aren’t just market moves—they’re indicators of a deeper unraveling.
Final Thought: Don't Be Fooled, Be Prepared
They'll tell you everything’s under control. They'll say a global recession is “not expected.” But when 70% of the world's economies are backpedaling, and inflation is still outpacing recovery, what does “not a recession” even mean anymore?
The writing’s on the wall. Sovereign debt is peaking. Trade is fracturing. And the very institutions that prop up the fiat system are hedging with precious metals.
