Gold price forecast
Although domestic and world gold prices have just experienced a week of deep decline, many international financial institutions and individual investors still maintain an optimistic view of the prospects of precious metals in the medium and long term, especially in the period of 2026.
The results of an annual survey by an international financial information platform show that the psychology of expecting price increases is clearly dominant in the individual investor community. Among the total 475 survey participants, most believe that gold prices are likely to set new records, far exceeding the milestones achieved in 2025.
Notably, nearly half of the opinions predict that gold prices in 2026 will fluctuate around the 5,000 – 6,000 USD/ounce range, even many investors expect a more positive scenario when gold may exceed 6,000 USD/ounce if economic and geopolitical risks increase.
In the opposite direction, the forecast rate of gold prices falling deeply is quite modest. Only about 10% of respondents believe that gold may return to the zone below $4,000/ounce - a level that appeared in some adjustment phases of 2025. This shows that confidence in the "safe haven" role of gold is still maintained, despite short-term corrections.
Not only individual investors, major banks around the world also made positive comments on the outlook for gold prices next year. Many organizations believe that the demand for buying gold from central banks is still an important pillar, besides the asset diversification trend of private investment in the context of low real interest rates and global economic instability showing no signs of cooling down.
Assessing this trend, Ms. Natasha Kaneva - Head of Global Commodity Strategy at J.P. Morgan - said: "The upward momentum of gold will not take place in a straight line, but the underlying factors that are driving the revaluation process of this precious metal are still intact. The trend of diversifying reserves and investment portfolios in gold still has a lot of room in the coming years.
According to the scenarios put forward, if investment capital continues to be maintained at a high level and only a small proportion of assets held in USD are converted to gold, precious metal prices can completely approach the 5,000 USD/ounce mark by the end of 2026.
