In the traditional Chinese calendar, 2026&nbsp;marks the Year of the Horse – a symbol of drive, independence, and ambition. To mark the occasion, we are introducing the third investment bar in the Swiss refinery PAMP’s prestigious Lunar Legends series. The collection tells stories related to each of the 12&nbsp;animals of the Chinese Zodiac, and 2026&nbsp;features the 1,000&nbsp;Mile Horse, a mythical creature of classic Chinese folklore.

The year 2025 is set to be remembered as a&nbsp;landmark for precious metals. While much of&nbsp;investors’ attention was focused on record highs in&nbsp;gold, silver was quietly charting its own course with a&nbsp;far more dramatic trajectory. In&nbsp;December, the price of silver broke above USD&nbsp;60&nbsp;per ounce for the first time in&nbsp;modern history, signalling that it is no longer merely a&nbsp;supporting act, but a&nbsp;market driver in&nbsp;its own right.

The gold price surged as high as USD&nbsp;4,400 per ounce, and its subsequent decline can be viewed as a&nbsp;healthy correction, reflecting not only profit-taking by short-term and speculative investors, but also several positive shifts in the geopolitical and&nbsp;macroeconomic landscape.

The revolutionary InGold&nbsp;PAY® system operated by IBIS&nbsp;InGold, a&nbsp;pioneer of innovative solutions for investment in precious metals, has reached a&nbsp;significant milestone. At the end of August&nbsp;2025, the total volume of transactions carried out by customers in gold accounts surpassed EUR&nbsp;20&nbsp;million.

In a&nbsp;world where money supply is expanding without real backing and&nbsp;fiat currencies are losing value, gold offers time-tested protection and&nbsp;serves as an independent anchor of stability. Its limited supply and&nbsp;independence from political cycles make it an ideal tool for diversifying reserves. As central banks stockpile gold as a&nbsp;modern safeguard against uncertainty, ordinary investors should also consider including it in their portfolios. Not just for potential profit, but, more importantly, for stability in turbulent times. Gold is the return to certainty the world needs.

2025 will enter investment history as the year that definitively altered the role of gold in&nbsp;investors’ portfolios. The price of gold surged above USD&nbsp;4,400&nbsp;per ounce and – more importantly – has remained at these levels despite mixed signals from the Fed (the US central bank). Bloomberg sees this not as a&nbsp;short-term market reaction, but as evidence of a&nbsp;deeper, structural trend redefining the place of gold in&nbsp;modern investment practice.
