Gold price forecast

Gold prices are heading towards their strongest weekly decline in six years. Gold fell due to concerns that prolonged inflation would force central banks to maintain tight monetary policy. The rising energy prices and expectations of interest rate cuts are narrowed.

Some experts believe that this adjustment may only be temporary and may stimulate buying demand from central banks in the near future.

In the silver market, demand from China continues to increase sharply. In the first two months of 2026, this country imported more than 790 tons of silver, of which nearly 470 tons in February alone, the highest level ever recorded for this month.

Increased demand makes domestic silver prices significantly higher than international ones, while reducing inventory on exchanges and attracting more supply from abroad.

Silver prices at the beginning of the year fluctuated very strongly, once increasing by about 70% due to speculation, before decreasing rapidly at the end of January. However, import data shows that actual demand remains stable.

Developments in the global energy and financial markets continue to greatly affect the trend of precious metal prices. Oil prices fluctuate around 96.50 USD/barrel, while the USD increases and US bond yields rise.

Yields on 2-year term bonds reached 3.83% and 5-year term bonds reached 3.91%. Notably, expectations for the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year have decreased sharply compared to before, due to increased inflationary pressure. Previously, the market had forecast a decrease of about 61 basis points, but now it is only about 3 points.

Major central banks still maintained interest rates this week and signaled that they would closely monitor inflation developments to be able to adjust policies when necessary. In that context, the global financial market tends to be more cautious, while energy-related factors continue to play an important role in orienting prices.

Gold price data is compared to the previous day.
