The WSJ reported a slowdown in gold price growth in 2026
Experts predict that the price of gold will grow more slowly in 2026 after the record figures of the current year. This was reported on December 9 by The Wall Street Journal.
"In 2026, the gold price is likely to consolidate in the range of $4-4.5 thousand per ounce," strategists at State Street Investment Management believe.
The article notes that gold is still important for investors as a way to protect money from inflation and risks in the stock and bond markets. The build-up of government debt and persistent high inflation make the precious metal attractive for long-term capital storage.
The easing of the policy of the US Federal Reserve System may weaken the dollar, which also supports demand for gold, the authors of the material emphasize.
The Financial Times (FT) newspaper reported on November 14 that the record rise in gold prices is due to undeclared purchases from China. According to the newspaper, the volume of unaccounted purchases can be more than ten times higher than the official figures.
