Institution: Gold may continue to see strong price increases in 2026.

The research team of Dahua Bank's Global Economy and Market stated in a report that gold may continue its strong upward trend in 2026. "Gold remains a preferred safe-haven asset for portfolio diversification," Dahua Bank wrote. Gold inventories on major exchanges worldwide continue to accumulate strongly, and purchases of gold ETFs also remain robust. Dahua Bank pointed out that market expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week are also a key recent positive factor for the precious metal. Dahua Bank maintains a positive outlook on gold and predicts prices of $4,300, $4,400, $4,500, and $4,600 per ounce in the first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2026, respectively.
