📈 Gold’s Historic Rally Sparks Surge in Precious Metals Trading Activity

Banks and traders worldwide are rushing to capitalize on a historic surge in gold prices, dramatically boosting precious metals trading desks and logistics operations as demand for safe‑haven assets accelerates. Investment and revenue in bullion markets have surged amid record pricing and heightened volatility.

• 📊 Trading Revenues Up Sharply: Major banks reported about 50% growth in precious metals trading revenues for the first nine months of 2025 compared with 2024.

• 🏦 Banks & Firms Re‑Enter Market: Institutions that once exited bullion trading, including Société Générale and Morgan Stanley, have re‑entered, while new players like MKS Pamp and StoneX expand operations.

• 📦 Vaulting & Logistics Growth: Vaulting — previously a low‑margin business — is now in demand, with some banks considering opening dedicated bullion storage due to booming trading volumes.

The exceptional rally in gold — driven by macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and investor flight to safe assets — has transformed bullion trading into one of the most profitable sectors in finance in 2025, signaling sustained institutional interest.
