Analysts at Bank of America, a banking and financial services company, reversed their long-held stance of no rate cuts in 2025 and are now projecting two 25 basis point (BPS) cuts, one in September and another in December, according to Bloomberg.

Gold hits record highs above $3,600 as tokenization brings the metal onchain, raising the question: Is gold the true digital gold? Gold has emerged as one of the best-performing assets of 2025, lifted by geopolitical uncertainty, record central bank buying and skepticism over policymakers’ ability to rein in inflation as fiscal deficits widen.
