Gold prices are expected to slow next year after a major rally throughout 2025, which analysts call the best annual performance since 1979. Analysts at State Street Investment Management predict that gold will likely consolidate in the $4,000-$4,500 per ounce range in 2026. They believe the major trend driving this year's rally is unlikely to reverse and still provides a positive backdrop for gold prices in the medium term.
State Street added that gold will continue to play an important role as a portfolio diversifier if the correlation between stocks and bonds remains as high as it is now. This precious metal is also considered attractive as a hedge amid high global debt and stubborn inflation, which pushes long-term yields up. At the same time, the Fed's policy easing has the potential to weaken the US dollar and increase liquidity in the market, which is usually a boost for gold. Currently, the spot gold price is around $4,192 per ounce, according to LSEG data.
The price of gold at the time of this analysis was released was $4,197.
