## Resource

In this episode of Unearthed, hosts John Reade and Joseph Cavatoni, Senior Market Strategists at the World Gold Council, unpack the latest macro trends and data influencing the gold market – from shifting investor sentiment and mixed US economic data, to renewed tariff tensions and policy unpredictability. Drawing on insights from the World Gold Council’s Q2 2025 Gold Demand Trends report, they explore how political risk, inflation concerns and a surprise revision in US payroll data are fuelling investor interest in gold.
