Solomon Global Unpacks Gold’s Crucial Role in Uncertain Markets at Master Investor Show 2025

– what’s next for gold as it breaches $3000 and continues to hit all-time highs –
LONDON, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leading gold bullion supplier, Solomon Global will take centre stage at the Master Investor Show 2025 – the UK’s largest event for private investors.
Solomon Global’s managing director, Paul Williams, and renowned financial journalist and market expert, Clem Chambers, will share their key insights on gold’s enduring value in turbulent economic and geopolitical times and analyse the current bull run. In the two talks on the Thought Leadership Stage, which Solomon Global is sponsoring at the show on Saturday 29th, March, the pair will explore the issues that individual investors are eager to understand, looking at gold as a hedge against inflation and uncertainty, its role in wealth preservation and its future price trajectory.
‘What Makes Gold the Ultimate Safe Haven Asset in 2025?’ – Paul Williams, Solomon Global
Time: 9.30 am
Paul Williams will examine gold’s historical status as the ultimate safe-haven asset. Against a backdrop of economic turmoil and geopolitical tensions, he will discuss how physical gold remains a crucial component of a well-balanced investment portfolio.
‘How Long Can Gold’s Historic Run Last?’ – Clem Chambers and Patrick Dooley, Solomon Global
Time: 12.35 pm
Solomon Global’s Patrick Dooley will be joined by Clem Chambers for a fireside chat, which, amongst other things, will probe the factors propelling gold’s record-breaking rally. With gold prices currently at unprecedented levels, they will examine whether $5,000 per troy ounce is within reach, how long the bull run could last, and what gold investment strategies investors can utilise to get the most out of gold.
“In this period of escalating trade wars, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical tensions, gold’s timeless appeal as the ultimate safe-haven asset has never been more important,” said Paul Williams, managing director of Solomon Global. “As central banks bolster their gold reserves and investors brace for further economic uncertainty, gold stands out as a pillar of financial security, offering a hedge against market volatility and global instability.”
“Gold isn’t just breaking records, it’s rewriting the playbook,” said Clem Chambers. “We’re seeing the momentum that could make $5,000 per troy ounce a reality sooner than most expect, but how long can this bull run hold? At The Master Investor Show, I’ll be digging into the answers everyone wants to know in this new golden era.”
