Gold price forecast
Gold prices last week broke through partly thanks to cash flow seeking safe haven amid escalating tensions between the US and Venezuela.
In the short term, gold prices are supported by increased geopolitical tensions between the US and Venezuela. Gold prices have fluctuated below record levels in recent sessions, so this increase is typical of "breaking the trend" after a period of accumulated price increases, in the context of a holiday market with low liquidity.
The next clear target of gold buyers is the $5,000 mark next year" - an analyst at Nemo.Money commented on Reuters.
World gold prices rose sharply as the US economy showed unexpected strength. The US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on Tuesday released initial estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the third quarter, saying the economy grew by 4.3% compared to the previous quarter, higher than the 3.8% of the second quarter. This figure far exceeded economists' expectations, when the consensus forecast was only 3.3%.
According to forecasts by commodity strategists at Goldman Sachs, gold is the best choice in the entire commodity market next year, and if private investors participate in diversifying their portfolios with central banks, gold prices could completely surpass the level of 4,900 USD/ounce.
The geopolitical and artificial intelligence power race between the US and China, along with fluctuations in global energy supply, are key factors shaping our beliefs" - Goldman Sachs' 2026 Commodity Outlook report stated.
Looking ahead, Goldman Sachs said that their basic macroeconomic scenario includes strong global GDP growth and the US Federal Reserve (Fed) cutting interest rates by 50 basis points in 2026. This will strongly support gold profits once again.
Note:
The world gold market operates through two main valuation mechanisms. The first is the spot market, where prices are quoted for transactions and immediate delivery.
Second is the futures contract market, where prices are set for futures delivery. Due to year-end book closing activities, December gold contracts are currently the most actively traded on CME.
