This is in stark contrast to a similar poll last month. Last month's polls showed that people were generally worried that the EU would be hit harder. Britain officially withdrew from the EU in 2020. Part of the reason why economists are more optimistic about Britain is that although one-fifth of Britain's total trade is with the United States, the proposed tariffs will focus on goods, and only one-third of Britain's exports are goods.ING is bearish on the prospect of commodities next year. It is expected that gold will outshine others. ING said that energy and commodities will be under pressure next year, while the prospect of gold is still bright. According to ING, due to geopolitical concerns, the price of gold is bound to continue this year's record high, and the average price of gold in 2025 will rise from about $2,713 per ounce at present to $2,760 per ounce. Most of the buying will come from central banks seeking diversification of foreign exchange reserves, and the intensification of trade and geopolitical frictions may increase the safe-haven appeal of gold.Informed sources: The main reason for the extreme flash crash is Baidu's divestment.
