The World Gold Council has released the "Mid Year Outlook for the Global Gold Market in 2026" report, predicting that gold investment will enter a critical period in the second half of the year. The performance of gold prices is influenced by geopolitical factors, interest rate environment, and investor sentiment. In late January of this year, the spot gold price in London reached a record high of $5405 per ounce, and the gold price has fallen by about 7% since the beginning of the year, with an average volatility of 30%. Institutions predict that gold prices will trade around $4100 per ounce within the year, with a fluctuation range of approximately ± 5%. If the geopolitical or economic situation deteriorates, or if interest rate expectations change, gold is expected to regain its upward trend. If the gold price drops by more than 10% from the current level, it will trigger long-term investors in multiple regions to buy on dips.
