Economist Enes Özkan evaluated the rise in the gold market with presenter Melis Yaşar on Haberler.com. Özkan made a striking prediction, saying, "By the end of the year, the gram gold could rise to 8 thousand levels."

The rise of gold shows no signs of slowing down. While the ounce price is reaching record levels in global markets, the gram gold in Turkey has surpassed 5 thousand 900 lira, and the quarter gold has exceeded 10 thousand lira.

"THE RISE OF GOLD IS DUE TO THE DEVALUATION OF THE DOLLAR"

Evaluating the rapid increase in gold, Economist Enes Özkan stated, "Actually, part of the increase in gold is due to the devaluation of the dollar. Gold is mostly priced in dollars, and it is increasing. Of course, we don't feel this much because we are experiencing it in Turkey. If you look at it in terms of inflation, the value of the dollar is not increasing as much as inflation. What does this actually mean? It means the value of the dollar is decreasing. It means the dollar does not protect you against inflation. There is a similar situation with gold. Gold has now become a material that will protect you against inflation. For about 8-9 weeks, gold has been experiencing an incredible rise without interruption. In such rises, one needs to be a bit cautious; you shouldn't live in fear of missing out on something. If you experience this, you could face a serious psychological collapse at the first significant drop. It might be more sensible to remain as calm as possible and think about the possibility of a pullback rather than investing a large amount in an asset that has been rising significantly for 9 weeks, 8 weeks, or maybe even 10 weeks." he said.

"GRAM GOLD COULD RISE TO 8 THOUSAND LEVELS BY THE END OF THE YEAR"

Answering the question of what the highest level gram gold could reach, Özkan said, "I don't know exactly for gram gold, but actually, the calculation is based on ounces. There were predictions about what level the ounce gold would reach by the end of 2026. These predictions generally showed us around 6000 for the gram gold effect. So, gram gold will reach 6 thousand by the end of the year. When you adjust the ounce predictions to the gram gold in Turkey, this level has now been reached. So what will happen? It seems we need to update our predictions. As far as I can see, if we adjust it again to the gram gold in Turkey, there are predictions that go up to 8 thousand when we adjust the year-end ounce prediction to gram gold." he stated.
