🔴Analysts have raised their annual gold price forecasts, a Reuters poll showed on Monday, with strong central bank demand and economic uncertainty expected to offset risks from surging inflation and hawkish policy bets due to the Middle East conflict.
🔴The metal's broader rally is expected to resume once tensions ease, the poll found.
🔴The survey of 31 analysts and traders conducted over the past three weeks returned a median gold forecast of $4,916 per troy ounce for 2026, the highest annual forecast in Reuters polls dating back to 2012.
🔴The latest forecast compares with $4,746.50 estimated three months ago.
