Gold Market Outlook 2026: Recent Forecasts from International Banks
May
As of early May 2026, the spot price of gold is trading around $4,700 per ounce. Several major international banks have recently published their latest forecasts for the gold market in 2026.
Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, UBS, Deutsche Bank and Wells Fargo have each released estimates indicating potential further upside in gold prices over the course of the year. These forecasts generally range between $6,000 and $6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026, with some institutions noting higher upside scenarios (up to approximately $7,200 in the case of UBS) under certain conditions.
These projections are speculative in nature and reflect the analysts’ current assumptions about factors such as central bank purchasing, investment demand and broader macroeconomic developments. As with any forward-looking estimates, actual outcomes may differ materially.
Gold has historically been viewed by some investors as a store of value during periods of economic uncertainty, including elevated inflation, currency fluctuations or geopolitical tensions. However, past patterns are not a reliable guide to future performance and prices can experience both gains and declines.
The value of gold can rise as well as fall and investors may receive less than they originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
