Gold Price Surge: Amidst the continuous fluctuations in the price of gold, a shocking report of the World Gold Council (WGC) has now come out. The World Gold Council (WGC) said on Thursday that in the year 2026, gold prices may increase by 15 percent to 30 percent from the current level.
If we talk about the year 2025, there was a lot of demand for gold amid American tariffs and other geopolitical uncertainties. People invested heavily in gold as a safe haven, due to which its prices jumped by about 53 percent.
What was said in the report?
The WGC report said, “The combination of falling yields, increased geopolitical stress and a clear bias towards safety will create a very strong tailwind for gold, which will help it rise rapidly. In this situation, gold may increase by 15 to 30 percent from the current level in 2026.” During this period, there will be huge demand for gold as an investment, especially through gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investment in it will increase, which will reduce the weakness in other areas of the market like jewelery or technology.
Inflow increased in gold ETF
According to WCG data, global gold ETFs have seen inflows of $77 billion so far in CY25, increasing their holdings by more than 700 tonnes.
The report further said, “Even if we move the starting point back further to May 2024, total gold ETF holdings have increased by about 850 tonnes. This figure is less than half of the previous gold bull cycle, which leaves a lot of scope for growth. For this to happen, gold prices may fall by 5 percent to 20 percent in the year 2026. Under these circumstances, reflation will probably take over, leading to increased activity and global growth moving towards a stronger path. As inflationary pressure increases, the Fed will be forced to hold or raise rates in 2026.
