Gold price forecast

Stepping into the first trading sessions of 2026, the world gold market showed clear signs of recovery after the year-end adjustment period.

The upward momentum returns in the context that fundamental factors continue to support the safe-haven role of precious metals, from geopolitical risks, loose monetary policy prospects to improved material demand in major consumer markets.

According to analysts, the adjustment of gold prices from historical peaks has partly "cooled down" buyers' fear, thereby helping retail demand recover.

This development is clearly reflected when gold prices in India and China – the two world's leading gold consumers – have shifted to a positive selling position compared to international prices after weeks of discounts. This shows that material demand is still present, especially as prices are no longer as hot as in the previous period.

From a macro perspective, the expectation that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will continue to cut interest rates this year is considered a key factor in supporting the market. In a low-interest environment, non-performing assets such as gold are often more attractive, especially when other investment channels are still facing many instabilities.

Commenting on the general trend, Mr. Tim Waterer - senior market analyst at KCM Trade - said that precious metals are starting the new year on a fairly similar trajectory to the previous year. According to him, after short-term profit-taking pressure and year-end position balancing activities gradually subsided, fundamental factors returned to play a leading role in the market.

However, investors are also warned about the possibility of strong fluctuations in the short term. The fact that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) continuously raises margins for precious metal futures shows that risks from speculation are increasing, especially in the context that market liquidity is still not completely stable after the holidays.

According to Mr. Kevin Grady – Chairman of Phoenix Futures and Options, recent fluctuations mainly reflect short-term speculative activity, rather than changes in long-term trends. He believes that increasing margins is systemic risk hedging and does not mean that the gold's upward cycle has ended.
