Goldman Sachs: Gold Prices Expected to Reach $5,400 by End of 2026, Central Bank Purchases and Diversification Support Upside. In a report, Goldman Sachs predicts that gold prices will gradually climb, reaching $5,400 per ounce by the end of 2026, with diversification providing upside potential. The report points out that central bank gold purchases in 2026 may accelerate again at the pace seen in 2025. Goldman Sachs' core view is that central bank demand, coupled with increased holdings by private investors in anticipation of Fed rate cuts, will jointly support a steady rise in gold prices. Goldman Sachs also cautions that if private sector diversification efforts (especially call option structures) increase, the market will face significant upside risks. Furthermore, while the medium-term trend remains upward, gold prices may experience significant volatility.
