Investment in Gold: Amidst global uncertainties, geopolitical tensions and continuous buying by central banks, gold, silver and copper have given tremendous returns to investors. In particular, gold registered a rise of about 70 percent in 2025 and overtook many leading stocks of the stock market, causing investors to panic. Now the question in the minds of investors is whether this rise in gold will continue in 2026 also.
How much can the price increase in a year?
Experts believe that it is difficult to repeat the extraordinary returns like 2025, but despite this, gold can give returns of 12 to 15 percent next year. While at present the price of gold is around Rs 1,35,000 per 10 grams, by the end of 2026 its price may reach in the range of Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 1,70,000 per 10 grams.
However, under the pressure of profit booking, a temporary decline is also possible and the price may slip to Rs 1,18,000 per 10 grams, but its possibility is considered limited.
How much return next year on Rs 3 lakh?
In terms of returns, if an investor invests Rs 3 lakh in gold at the end of December 2025 and gets a return of 13 to 15 percent in the next one year, then by December 2026 his investment amount can increase to around Rs 3.36 lakh to Rs 3.45 lakh.
Experts say that if geopolitical tensions persist further, central banks continue to buy gold and expectations of interest rate cuts persist, then demand and prices of gold may continue to receive support. In such a situation, even though there will be ups and downs, gold can remain a safe and attractive option for investment even in 2026.
