Gold Price Prediction 2026: This year, there has been a tremendous rise in the prices of gold. The price of gold has increased by about 61 percent on an annual basis, due to which it has proved to be the option that gives the highest returns to investors compared to shares, bonds and other investment instruments. However, now the question is being raised in the market whether this rise will continue in the coming time or there will be a decline in gold prices.
analysts estimate
According to ANZ Bank, there may be a huge fall in gold prices next year. The main reasons for gold reaching record levels this year are believed to be geopolitical tension, economic uncertainty, weakness of the dollar and possible cut in US interest rates. Spot gold touched an all-time high of $ 4,225.69 an ounce and then rose 0.4 percent to $ 4,224.79.
Whenever there is uncertainty or crisis in the global markets, investors increase investment in gold as a safe asset. According to the ANZ report cited by Reuters, gold prices may reach $ 4,400 an ounce by the end of this year, while by June 2026 it may go around $ 4,600. However, after this, there is a possibility of a big fall in prices in the second half of next year.
advice for investors
According to the ANZ report, investors will still continue to be attracted towards gold due to factors like political instability, tariff disputes and geopolitical tensions. The report also estimates that silver prices could reach $57.50 an ounce by mid-2026. However, if the stance of the US Federal Reserve (US Fed) becomes tougher or the US economy continues to perform better than expected, then the opposite effect may be seen and gold prices may fall.
