The upward trend of gold, which broke record after record in 2025, continues. Gram gold reached a historical peak of 4,471 lira within the year, while ounce gold saw a high of 3,500 dollars. Currently, gram gold is trading at 4,388 lira, and ounce gold is at 3,336 dollars.
UBS'S GOLD EXPECTATION HAS INCREASED
Swiss-based investment bank UBS shared its new forecast regarding gold prices. The bank raised its forecast for ounce gold from 3,600 dollars to 3,700 dollars by the end of 2026 due to strong investment demand and risks related to the U.S. economy. It is also predicted that ounce gold could reach 3,700 dollars during the periods of June and September 2026. According to the analysis, gold will be in an upward trend in the third quarter of 2026, while a slight decline is expected in the fourth quarter.
THE WEAKENING OF THE DOLLAR WILL SUPPORT GOLD
UBS emphasized that the strong purchases by central banks, the increase in ETF demand, and anti-dollarization trends are among the main factors driving gold prices up. The bank also stated that the ongoing inflation pressure in the U.S., weakening economic growth, and potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) will support gold prices.
In the note published by UBS, the following statements were included: "U.S. macroeconomic risks, questions regarding the independence of the Fed, concerns about fiscal sustainability, and geopolitical developments support anti-dollar trends and central bank purchases. These factors pave the way for further increases in gold prices."
