Gold Price Outlook for 2026: There was a tremendous rise in the prices of gold in the year 2025. During this period, prices rose by 55 percent. On December 31, 2024, the price of gold was Rs 78,950 per 10 grams, which has now increased to Rs 1,38,550. That means gold has become costlier by Rs 59,600 so far this year. Now the question comes whether this trend of rising gold prices in 2025 will continue in 2026 also or not?

Is gold going out of reach of the middle class?

J.P. regarding this. Natasha Kanaeva, head of global commodities strategy at Morgan, believes that the long-term trend of diversification into gold by central banks and investors will continue. In view of this, we expect that the demand for gold will take the prices to $ 5,000 an ounce by the end of 2026. That means, JP Morgan Global Research is estimating the average price of gold to be Rs 5,055 per ounce (about Rs 1.60 lakh per 10 grams) by the last quarter of 2026. Like JP Morgan, the CEO of the World Gold Council also says that by the end of 2026, gold is likely to reach $ 6,000 per ounce (about Rs 1.92 lakh per 10 grams).

Why are investors running after gold?

Apart from these, Goldman Sachs also expects that next year gold may go up to $ 4900 per ounce i.e. Rs 1,53,000 per 10 grams. Brokerage firm HSBC also has similar thinking. According to this, in the year 2026, the price of gold can go in the range of Rs 1,44,068 per 10 grams.

Generally, the demand for gold as a safe investment increases in an environment of weak US dollar and low interest rates of the US Federal Reserve. Apart from this, geopolitical tensions are also responsible for increasing prices. Investing in gold works as insurance in times of any uncertainty.

People are investing heavily in gold

J.P. “Total demand for gold from investors (ETFs, futures, bars and coins) and central banks in the third quarter of 2025 was approximately 980 tonnes, which is more than 50 percent more than the average of the previous four quarters,” said Gregory Shearer, head of base and precious metals strategy at Morgan.

After rising prices in recent times, there is now hypothetically a possibility of further rise in prices as in the third quarter of 2025, investors invested about $109 billion at an average gold price of 3,458 ounces per dollar, which is equivalent to 950 tonnes, which is about 90 percent more than the average of the last four quarters.

Gold Price Prediction: Meanwhile, there was some reduction in the prices of gold, so people heaved a sigh of relief. But it is once again predicted to reach record high level.

This is because in the coming time, investors will be in alert mode regarding the decision of the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates in America and the MPC meeting of the Reserve Bank. Apart from this, developments like job and inflation figures in America, peace deal between Russia and Ukraine will also be in focus.

Focus on many big developments

According to news agency PTI, Pranav Mer, Vice President, EBG – Commodity and Currency Research, JM Financial Services Limited, said, “Gold is moving out of the consolidation range as investors are paying attention to manufacturing and services PMI data of different regions, US Jobs data and consumer sentiment. Apart from this, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Monday, Russia-Ukraine peace talks. Traders will keep an eye on RBI’s development and RBI’s policy meeting on Friday.

Price increased in international market

Gold futures for February 2026 contract on the Multi Commodity Exchange closed at Rs 1,29,504 per 10 grams on Friday, up Rs 3,654 or 2.9 per cent from last week. At the same time, during the last week, Comex gold futures for December delivery in the international market increased by US $ 138.8 or 3.4 percent and on Friday it closed at US $ 4,218.3 per ounce.

Similarly, fluctuations of rupee against dollar and domestic demand in Indian markets have affected the prices of gold. According to Prathamesh Mallya of Angel One, the prices of precious metals remain high due to the festive season, celebration of weddings and continuous buying of jewellery. He also said that it is expected that central banks around the world will continue purchasing gold in the coming times. Experts say that gold may reach record high levels in the coming time because the demand for safe-haven will remain intact amidst expectations of continuous rate-cuts, weakness of the US dollar and geopolitical uncertainties.

Gold Price Outlook: Dhanteras is about to come and the same old question is echoing in the market again – ‘Buy gold and silver this time or wait?’. This is because the feat that gold and silver have done in the last nine months has both made investors happy and also scared them a little. The speed of silver which is bought the most on Dhanteras 2025 is like a bullet train! The silver which was 80,000 kg at the beginning of the year has now crossed 1.50 lakh kg. That means there has been almost a double jump.

Why is the demand for gold and silver increasing so much?

Even big brokerage companies are saying that if this pace continues, silver can reach 2.40 lakh kg by 2026. The reason for this surge is not just the demand for worship or jewelery – but also the hunger of the industry. Today, silver is not only used in jewelery but also in mobiles, solar panels and electric cars and this is becoming its real strength.

Gold is also not far behind. The sheen of ‘safe investment’ continues. While silver made a run, gold also rose at a record breaking pace. Today the price of 10 grams of gold has reached between Rs 1.28 to Rs 1.30 lakh – that is, an increase of about 25 percent as compared to last year. According to market experts, by next year it can go up to Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams. The reason is clear – dollar weakness, fear of inflation and stock market volatility. People are investing money in such assets which will always shine.

Attention Not every shining metal is gold or silver

The game of fake metals has also increased in the market. While buying gold, definitely check the BIS hallmark and while buying gold and silver coins, keep in mind that not every coin is genuine which has the picture of Lakshmi ji and Ganesh ji. Real silver is not attracted by a magnet and it is natural for a light black layer (oxidation) to appear on it within a short time – this is a sign of its authenticity.

So now the question- what to do this Dhanteras?

If you are buying for puja, gift or long-term investment, then both gold and silver can prove to be beneficial, but if you are buying only for the greed of profit, then it would be wise to wait a bit because after the festivals, there may be a wave of profit booking in the market, due to which the prices are sure to soften a bit. Buying gold and silver this Dhanteras can still be a profitable deal – just keep the right price, right metal and right expectations while buying because their shine will always remain… it is just a question of timing.

Gold price predictions: There has been a tremendous increase in the price of gold just before the festive season. In such a situation, the question is arising that if someone is still making up his mind to shop, then will he wait or the price of gold is going to increase further. According to the market experts, its price can be seen further.

The rise in the price of gold is being seen at a time when it is expected that the monetary policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve is being estimated to cut interest rates in the monetary policy meeting of the September.

What do experts say

AVP (Commodities and Currency) of Anand Rathi Share and Stocks Brokers says that the price of gold may increase further in the next few weeks. The US Nonform Perols (NFP) report states that the pace of hiring slowed down in August and the unemployment rate has reached the highest level after 2021, causing the American economy under pressure.

Apart from this, the political situation in Japan and France has also increased geopolitical tension, which has increased the demand for gold. It is estimated that gold can reach $ 3,720 to $ 3,750 an ounce in the next three to four weeks. In the Indian market, it can range from about Rs 1,12,000 to Rs 1,12,500 per 10 grams.

How far will the emotion go ahead?

Soumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst (Commodities) of HDFC Securities, says that the strong demand of central banks, investment in exchange-traded funds and cutting in interest rates have promoted the boom in precious metals. He says that the demand for safe investment properties has increased due to geopolitical tension and concerns related to the policies of US President Donald Trump.

Trivesh D, COO of brokerage firm Tradjini, said that gold is hovering around $ 3,659 an ounce in global markets and making new records. Kayanat Chanwala, AVP of Jens Research in Kotak Securities, said that market participants will monitor the US inflation figures later this week, which can affect the direction of cutting interest rates in the fourth quarter. However, this will not change the expectations of cutting interest rates in September.
