New Delhi, Aug 31: Gold and silver prices could see a strong rise by the end of 2026 if global economic and monetary conditions remain supportive, according to a bullish market outlook.
Under the optimistic scenario, gold could reach $5,000-$5,600 per ounce, while silver could move towards $95-$120 per ounce. Expectations of easier monetary policy, lower real interest rates and continued investor demand are among the factors that could support precious metals.
Gold could also benefit from continued purchases by central banks and demand from investors seeking safe-haven assets during periods of economic or geopolitical uncertainty.
Silver may receive additional support from industrial demand and limited growth in supply. Strong investment interest could further push prices higher if physical availability remains tight.
However, precious metals could face pressure if US interest rates remain high, bond yields rise or the dollar strengthens. Market volatility is therefore expected to remain a key factor.
For Indian buyers, global bullion prices and movements in the rupee will continue to influence domestic gold and silver rates.
Overall, gold and silver are likely to remain closely watched by investors in the coming months, with monetary policy, global demand and supply conditions expected to determine their price direction.
