After the drop in gold prices, there has been a surge in activity at jewelry stores, while Islam Memiş stated that there will be sharp fluctuations in 2026 and that the price of gold per gram could approach 10,000 TL in the long term.
Gold prices sharply declined following statements from U.S. President Donald Trump. Citizens, seizing the opportunity presented by the drop, flocked to jewelers, leading to increased activity in the markets.
Financial Analyst İslam Memiş evaluated the latest developments in the gold market during a television program. Memiş stated that the sudden drop in prices surprised both investors and jewelers.
SPREAD REACHED 300 LIRA
Memiş noted that there is a product shortage in the market due to high demand, mentioning that packaged gram gold, quarter, and half gold products are unavailable. He emphasized that the buying-selling spread has also widened significantly, stating, “The spread, which is normally 20-30 lira, has increased to 250-300 lira.”
WARNING: “OPPORTUNITY HAS NOT PASSED”
Memiş expressed that the decline in prices should not create panic and urged investors to remain calm. He stated, “Opportunities have not passed. Citizens will again find the chance to buy gold at a low price.”
Memiş indicated that gold prices can fluctuate between 300-400 dollars throughout the day, stating that the markets are guided by Trump’s statements and that manipulations due to the war continue.
EXPECTATION OF 10 THOUSAND TL FOR GRAM GOLD
In evaluations regarding the entire year, Memiş expressed that gram gold prices will maintain an upward trend in the long term. He predicted that gram gold could approach the 10 thousand TL level. However, he warned investors that expecting high profits in the short term is unrealistic, stating, “2026 will be a year of manipulation. We will see these sharp fluctuations every month until the end of the year.”
