Industrial Bank: The price of gold is expected to continue to rise in 2026, with the increase likely to be smaller than last year.

The Investment Research Institute of Rich Bank expects that the price of gold will continue to rise in 2026, partly due to the escalating geopolitical tensions and the active buying of gold by global central banks. The institute points out that the expectation of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve, coupled with the relative stability of the US dollar, will help drive gold to outperform other assets in 2026, although the upward trend may be more moderate compared to 2025.
