Year 2026 gold price forecast tops $4,000/oz !

Gold’s winning streak is expected to extend into next year, with analysts forecasting an annual average price above $4,000 per ounce for the first time, as economic and geopolitical turmoil keep the metal’s safe-haven allure intact, according to a Reuters poll.

The poll of 39 analysts and traders returned a median forecast of $3,400 per troy ounce of gold for 2025, up from $3,220 in July. They expect prices to average $4,275 in 2026, up sharply from $3,400 three months prior.
