The Horizons Gold ETF (HUG-T) has experienced notable fluctuations this year, primarily driven by central banks' increased purchases of gold. Despite a recent pullback, the overall sentiment suggests potential for recovery, especially if investor interest begins to rise.

The upcoming seasonal period from December into January and February is expected to bolster gold prices further. While current investor engagement may not be strong, the general outlook remains optimistic for the next year, with expectations for a favorable climate for gold investments.

Gold got a strong bump up this year (driven by central bank buying), now pulled back a bit. Central banks are continuing to buy, but we haven't seen a lot of interest in gold from investors yet. Gold could pick up, some hot money could start to move in at some point in 2025. Gold will probably have another good year next year. Interest rates coming down would help gold move higher. Strong seasonal period from December into January/February.
