Gold Price Forecast 2026: Global Reports Predict Major Decline After Record Rally
Several international organizations are predicting that gold prices are likely to decline in 2026. According to a recent report by Goldman Sachs, gold prices are expected to decline significantly in 2026.
The year 2025 can be said to have left a bitter memory for gold lovers. Because this year the price of gold has increased to an unprecedented level in history. On January 1, 2025, the price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold was at Rs 72,000. By October 20, 2025, the price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold had reached Rs 1,35,000. That is, the price of gold has almost doubled. This can be understood in what range the price of gold has increased. In the past 11 months since US President Donald Trump took office in January, the United States has imposed tariffs on countries around the world due to protectionist policies. With this, a global financial crisis suddenly began and the value of gold started to increase dramatically. Investors started investing their investments in gold, which they considered a safe investment. As a result, the price of gold increased dramatically. However, the situation is now slowly starting to stabilize. In this context, let us now find out what the price of gold will be in 2026.
Several international organizations are predicting that gold prices are likely to fall in 2026. According to the latest report by Goldman Sachs Reports, gold prices are expected to fall significantly in 2026. This was stated by CNBC Business Portal in a news article. In addition, in the new year, the war atmosphere is likely to decrease and investors are expected to be less fearful as peace talks between Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine have already begun, which will provide a good booster to the equity markets and thus lead to a decline in gold prices.
In addition, the US dollar is slowly rising, and there are signs that the US dollar will strengthen further in the coming days. The main reason for this is that the majority of sources believe that the US Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates unchanged in December, which will also help increase the value of the dollar, experts say. If this happens, the price of gold is likely to fall further. Also, the Chinese central bank has been buying gold extensively for the past two years. However, China has recently reduced its gold purchases significantly. In this context, it is expected that gold prices in the international market are likely to fall.
