Gold price forecast
In a recent interview, Daan Struyven - Head of Petroleum Research at Goldman Sachs - one of the world's largest and most influential investment banks and financial service institutions said that this investment bank still maintains a strong optimistic view on the precious metal.
We expect gold to increase by nearly 20% by the end of 2026, at around $4,900/ounce. Not as fast as this year - prices have increased by nearly 60% since the beginning of the year - but two drivers driving the increase in 2025, in our opinion, will continue to repeat in 2026 - he said.
The first driving force is the structural purchases of central banks. Since the central banks reserves have frozen in 2022, emerging market reserve managers have realized that they need to diversify to gold the only safe haven for domestic warehouses, the expert said.
The second driver is the US Federal Reserve's interest rate cutting cycle. Gold is a non-interest-bearing asset, so every time the Fed cuts interest rates, cash flows flow into gold ETFs, Struyven explained. Our economists predict the Fed will cut another 75 basis points. Combining two factors - buying from central banks and capital flows from private investors - gold is strongly supported".
Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank has raised its 2026 gold price forecast to $3,950-4.950/ounce, based on expectations of persistent buying from central banks and ETFs to continue to reduce supply from the jewelry market, thereby causing demand to far exceed supply.
However, Deutsche Bank also notes many risks that could put pressure on precious metals, including the possibility of a strong correction in the stock market, a less loose Fed than expected, and a near-term sell-off to reduce demand; Reserve managers may slow down buying after the acceleration phase, while strong increases in gold prices are often accompanied by major corrections.
Note: Gold price data is compared to a day earlier.
The world gold market operates through two main valuation mechanisms. The first is the spot delivery market, where prices are quoted for transactions and spot deliveries.
Second is the futures contract market, which sets prices for future deliveries. Due to year-end book-taking activities, December gold contracts are currently the most actively traded on CME.
