Gold Prices Correct 23-26% Since January Peak Amid Supportive Structural Factors
Gold prices have corrected about 23-26% from their January 2026 peak, influenced mainly by higher US Treasury yields, a stronger US dollar, and geopolitical factors. Despite this decline, structural drivers such as central bank buying, fiscal concerns, and reserve diversification remain supportive. The gold-silver ratio has risen to around 68, suggesting silver's relative undervaluation. Experts recommend staggered buying strategies ahead of the festive season, with gold ETFs offering flexible investment options amid ongoing market volatility.
