Gold Price Forecast 2026: Last year in 2025, gold gave investors an opportunity to earn tremendous returns. Gold has once again strengthened its identity as a safe investment. The unstable situation at the global level, increasing geopolitical tension and continuous purchases by central banks have increased the demand for gold.
At the same time, due to softening of interest rates and weakening of major currencies, the prices of gold are continuously increasing. Now investors are keeping an eye on whether this trend will continue in future also. Let us know in which direction the price of gold will be seen going in the year 2026….
Gold rate will be decided by these factors in 2026
Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead of VT Markets, while talking to Money Control Hindi, told on which factors the price of gold is going to depend. He said that gold prices in the year 2026 will depend on how stable the world’s economies remain and at what level the risks remain.
Giving further information, Ross said that the role of interest rates and inflation also affects the gold rate. If real interest rates go down, gold will become cheaper to hold and its demand may increase.
At the same time, the fear of decreasing value of currency can turn investors towards gold. Apart from this, trade war and geopolitical tension also increases the demand for safe haven assets like gold. All these factors play an important role in determining the price of gold.
Which will give better returns gold or silver?
The prices of precious metals like gold and silver have been rising for some time. According to experts, in the year 2026, gold can give more stable returns than silver. Gold acts as a defensive asset in difficult situations.
However, silver had made investors rich last year. But a large part of the reason behind this rise in silver is industrial demand. A decline can also be seen in times of recession or slow growth. At the same time, in uncertain circumstances, gold is considered more reliable.
Gold is the world’s most valuable asset
On the basis of market capitalization, gold is currently considered to be the most valuable asset in the world. According to estimates, its total market cap has reached around $30.48 trillion.
