Gold prices continue to surge, with major forecasts still pointing to a possible climb toward $6,000 per ounce by the end of 2026.

Despite already strong gains this year, leading global banks such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and UBS maintain an optimistic outlook for gold, projecting a potential rise to $6,000 per ounce by late 2026.

Analysts cite sustained central bank buying as a key driver behind the bullish forecast. According to market estimates, central banks had accumulated gold reserves worth around $5 trillion by December 2025, underscoring growing demand for the metal as a safe-haven asset amid global economic uncertainty.
