Global gold price
Gold price closer to $5,000 this year
Gold prices fell slightly on Tuesday after a strong rise since the beginning of the year, reaching new record levels yesterday at around $4,630 per ounce. Gold is now poised to reach $5,000 per ounce this year, given the recent price momentum and geopolitical developments. Analysts believe that the yellow metal is in an excellent position to shine in 2026.
as concerns about the independence of the US Federal Reserve, rising global debt burdens, Fed policy, potential market volatility shocks, geopolitical tensions, and renewed trade concerns have boosted demand for metals as a safe haven.
The outlook suggests that correlations between US stocks and bonds will remain positive through 2026, creating room for increased gold allocations in investment portfolios as investors may seek liquid alternatives.
At the same time, central bank purchases of gold are likely to boost physical demand, providing a pillar of stability for the precious metal market.
