Dear interested parties in the precious metals markets,<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>We are delighted to invite you to the ZukunftsForum 2026. With the start of ticket sales, the hot phase begins for us a quarter of a year before the event. Over the past few months, we have evaluated the feedback from many visitors and partners, identified relevant topics and trends and contacted top-class speakers. During the first Future Forum in March 2025, it already became clear to us how great the need is for a meeting that brings together different perspectives from the precious metals world - professionally sound, critically reflective and open to new ideas. The second edition of the ZFE will take place on 23 and 24 March 2026 with a preliminary program on 22 March.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>The developments of recent months illustrate the extent to which markets, technologies and framework conditions are changing. Whether geopolitical shifts, new industrial applications or the structural trend towards real value-oriented investment strategies - precious metals are involved in a variety of contexts that require orientation and classification. The ZukunftsForum is intended to provide precisely this space: With expert background knowledge, but also with classifications - and most importantly: with the opportunity to exchange ideas.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>For 2026, we will once again offer you a program that addresses these requirements: with top-class speakers from the industry, practical panels and thematic focuses that reflect current challenges as well as long-term developments. In addition, the new issue of our magazine GOLD & WEISS was published on November 7, 2025, which explores key aspects of the forum in greater depth and continues the content-related discourse. The response from readers and partners was overwhelming, so the next issue will also be published as a supplement in Handelsblatt in March 2026.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>We would be delighted if you could join us again next year - as a guest, partner or speaker.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>With best regards from Frankfurt<\/span>
<\/span>

Quarterly report of the World Gold Council: Gold boom continues<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The World Gold Council's quarterly report for Q3 2025 paints a clearly investment-driven market picture. Total global demand rose to 1,313 tons, around 3% more than in the previous year, reaching one of the highest quarterly figures since surveys began. This development was driven primarily by the investment sector: inflows into physical products such as bars, coins and ETFs caused investment demand to rise to around 537 tons - a strong increase of 47% compared to the same quarter of the previous year and also the strongest figure for several years.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>At the same time, jewelry demand fell significantly to 371 tons (-19 % compared to the same period last year) due to the higher price level, but showed a slight recovery quarter-on-quarter. The overall market volume was supported by a stable supply side: Mine production increased slightly to around 977 tons (up two percent year-on-year), confirming the trend towards sustained higher production levels. Overall, the report points to a market environment that is clearly characterized by geopolitical tensions, more moderate interest rate expectations and the increased search for safe forms of investment, while traditional areas of demand such as jewelry are temporarily under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Critical minerals: silver is becoming a stronger focus of US industrial policy<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In November 2025, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published the \u201e2025 List of Critical Minerals\u201c on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Interior, with which ten new raw materials were added to the list of critical minerals - including copper, silver, uranium, silicon, boron, lead, phosphate, potash, rhenium and metallic coal. The aim of this measure is to reduce the USA's dependence on external supply chains - particularly in relation to China - and to strengthen security of supply in key industries such as technology, defense and clean energy. The list also serves as a strategic basis for investment, extraction and approval decisions in the mining and processing sector within the USA.

The classification of silver as a \u201eCritical Mineral\u201c by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2025 underlines the strategic importance of this metal for key industries such as photovoltaics, semiconductor manufacturing and electromobility. With the inclusion in the list of critical raw materials, silver is moving more into the focus of US industrial policy, which favors investments in exploration, recycling and supply chain security. For investors, this means structurally firmer industrial demand as companies plan for the long term and government programs prioritize security of supply. As a result, silver is gaining relevance as a future commodity in addition to its traditional character as an investment metal, while geopolitical risks and supply chain developments are likely to be even more frequent price-determining factors in the future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
