Gold Prices Projected to Stay Between $4,200 and $5,000 per Ounce Over Two Years
Gold prices are expected to remain elevated between USD 4,200 and USD 5,000 per ounce over the next one to two years, driven by sustained central bank purchases and strong demand from Asian investors. This trend reduces the traditional influence of US interest rate movements on gold prices. Central banks bought 289 tonnes in Q2 2026, while Asian gold funds saw record inflows. Limited global mine supply also supports prices, despite challenges like higher US rates, inflation, and a stronger dollar.
