ICICI Bank Forecasts Gold Prices Rising to USD 5,000 per Ounce by Mid-2027
ICICI Bank projects gold prices to trade between USD 4,200 and 4,600 per ounce for the remainder of 2026, with a potential rise to USD 4,600-5,000 per ounce in the first half of 2027. Despite a sharp correction in September following a strong August rally, the bank expects sustained investment demand, central bank purchases, and gold's role as a hedge against geopolitical and financial uncertainties to support prices over the medium term. Near-term volatility may persist amid US monetary policy shifts.
