Goldman Sachs has made a bold prediction, forecasting that gold will soar to $4,000 per troy ounce by mid-2026. This prediction comes from Daan Struyven, Goldman’s co-head of global commodities research, during a recent discussion with the energy strategy firm Veriten. Currently, gold is priced at around $3,310.74 per troy ounce, and the anticipated rise reflects a growing preference for gold as a hedge against market volatility.

Investors are increasingly considering gold not only as a safe-haven asset but also as a more stable option compared to Bitcoin, especially amid its notorious price swings. This outlook positions gold as a key player in the investment landscape as 2026 approaches.
