So far in the year 2025, gold prices have seen an increase of more than 60 percent. But will this boom continue in the year 2026 or not? This is a big question. Predictions of many people are also coming forward regarding this. But this time the prediction that has come out is quite big. The CEO of the World Gold Council has said in his latest statement that in the year 2026, the price of gold may see an increase of about 39 percent from the current level. If this happens then the price of gold in the international market can cross the level of 6 thousand dollars. If we look at it in Indian rupees then gold can cross the level of Rs 1.90 lakh. This means that gold is getting ready for another new rise. Let us also tell you what the CEO of the World Gold Council has said.
Gold will reach new levels
World Gold Council Chief Executive David Tait said that the rising prices of gold for many years show no signs of stopping. Prices are likely to remain high through 2026 and possibly reach $6,000 per ounce (approximately Rs 541,920 per ounce and Rs 1.90 lakh for 10 grams). One ounce of gold is equal to 28 grams. Tait said there are strong signs of high gold prices continuing into 2026.
He said that many people are estimating $6,000, and to be honest, considering the current circumstances, this figure seems quite close. On Wednesday, gold was trading at $ 4,321 an ounce, which is 60 percent more than last year. Tait said that there could be many reasons for this rise. The biggest reasons include demand for safe haven and buying by central banks and investment in ETFs. Whose effect can be seen in the prices of gold.
