The central bankers met in Florence and voted. The result is that the digital euro is to be introduced in 2029. The digital central bank currency is intended to complement cash. But this requires trust. And if trust wanes, precious metals will come more to the fore.

For many, gold is the real money. In 2026, the European Council and the European Parliament are expected to adopt a draft regulation on the introduction of a digital euro. The regulation will then apply in all member states. The digital euro project has been controversial from the outset. Cyber risks and privacy protection are among the arguments against it.

Hardly anyone will have overlooked the rally in the price of gold. Even after the correction, various analysts see the price heading towards US$5,000 per ounce over the next twelve months. US$3,000 per ounce was reached in March and US$4,000 per ounce in October 2025. Many risk factors led to the tremendous rally in the price of gold. Tariff disputes and political quarrels were just two of the factors driving up prices.

Silver rose more sharply than it had since 2010, but then had to take more of a hit during the correction. Nevertheless, the mood among leading banks toward both precious metals is consistently positive. Silver prices of $59 per ounce or more are forecast for the new year. Demand for silver from the solar and electronics industries is high and there is a supply deficit. Companies with gold and silver projects should also receive the attention they deserve.
