What will happen to gold prices in 2026? ANZ Bank offers two scenarios

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】ANZ Bank’s latest outlook has attracted attention. Under the multiple pressures of sluggish global growth, escalating trade tensions, challenges to the Federal Reserve’s independence, and stock market volatility, gold prices could surge to $5,000 per ounce by 2026—signaling a major flight to safe-haven assets. Conversely, if the US economy unexpectedly recovers, the dollar continues to appreciate, and the Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish stance, gold could fall back to around $3,500 per ounce. The logic behind these two scenarios is clear: pessimistic economic outlook → risk assets under pressure → gold strengthens; optimistic economic outlook → strong dollar → gold under pressure. For the crypto market, this forecast is equally worth noting—precious metal cycles often signal shifts in capital flows.

$5000? Wait, does that mean BTC is about to take off again?

$5,000 really dares to say, once the Federal Reserve shifts, it's all over.

$5000 or $3500, this prediction is too broad, it basically says nothing.

$5,000 gold price? Don't be silly. We'll have to see the Federal Reserve's stance by then.

ANZ Bank's two scenarios, frankly, are just betting on how the economy will go... 5000 vs 3500, such a big difference, really relies on the Fed's old man just opening his mouth.

$5000? Sounds like a tall tale haha Gold and the crypto world really operate inversely; understanding this logic is key to catching the bottom As soon as the Fed makes a move, funds immediately rush out, and this is what we need to keep a close eye on

The figure of 5000 dollars is a bit exaggerated. If we backtest historical data, what's the probability of such an extreme scenario occurring? If it really crashes, it also depends on whether the Federal Reserve goes along with it. But anyway, I never thought about exiting when I go all-in; being in the eye of the storm is the most comfortable.
