The spot gold price on the global market has shown positive momentum since the start of 2026 after recording a remarkable increase throughout 2025. The latest data shows that spot gold was last traded at around US$4,378 per ounce, up around 1.6% in the Asian session due to several economic factors and market sentiment supporting the precious metal as a safe-haven asset.
This global gold rally comes after the precious metal ended last year with a record gain of more than 60%, its largest achievement in decades. Market analysts identify several key drivers, including a weaker US dollar, expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, and safe-haven demand from investors amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
Looking ahead, several institutions, such as the World Gold Council, predict that gold could continue to rise 15 to 30% during 2026, supported by falling bond yields, central bank purchases, and demand for strong hedging assets if global risks remain high. (Cay)
