2025 was a truly historic year for the noble metal. According to a report by the World Gold Council, the gold price hit new all-time highs 53 times, reaching $4,449 per ounce in December and rising more than 67% by the end of the year.
And if you look at the statistics for the last two years, you’ll see that price records have been broken 95 times!
Once again, gold has confirmed its status as an effective safe-haven asset. The price surge has been driven by strong demand from central banks, heightened geopolitical situation, and robust investor activity.
It’s no surprise that major banks and analysts are predicting continued success for gold in 2026. Here are just a few examples:
HSBC: $5,050 per ounce can be reached in the first half of the year;
JP Morgan: the price per ounce can rise to $5,055 by the end of 2026 and to approximately $5,400 by the end of 2027.
UBS: it is possible that the $5,400 mark will be reached by September 2026.
Gold isn’t just rising in price — it’s setting new standards of stability and trust. In a world where risks are extremely high, this metal remains a symbol of reliability and long-term value.
