When the world’s biggest investment bank raises its price target for gold, it’s worth paying attention.
This morning, Goldman Sachs released its updated forecast: gold to reach $4,900 per ounce by December next year. That’s not a minor tweak, it’s a projected 24% rise from today’s spot levels.
For a metal that’s already breaking all-time highs throughout 2025, this is yet another powerful signal that gold’s bull run is far from over.
Why Goldman’s Forecast Matters
Goldman Sachs is not in the business of making wild guesses. Their analysts are among the most data-driven in global finance, and their call is built on a clear set of macro realities:
-
Falling interest rates: Central banks are beginning to pivot. As real yields decline, gold’s opportunity cost disappears, and history shows gold thrives in easing cycles.
-
Sticky inflation: Despite government optimism, inflation remains embedded in everyday prices. Gold is the only asset that can’t be debased or “printed away.”
-
Rising central-bank demand: Global reserves are shifting quietly but decisively from dollars to gold, a structural move that underpins long-term strength.
-
Currency pressure: With debt levels at record highs, policymakers are tolerating weaker currencies to manage liabilities, another long-term tailwind for gold.
A 24% Uplift, and What It Really Means
If gold were to rise 24% from current levels, we’d be looking at new all-time highs across every primary currency, from pounds to yen to euros.
But more importantly, this isn’t a speculative surge; it’s a repricing of trust. Investors are recognising that the old financial order built on endless credit expansion is showing cracks.
When confidence fades, gold doesn’t just shine; it reasserts itself as the foundation of value.
Why Physical Gold Still Stands Apart
Paper gold, ETFs, and digital promises may track price, but they don’t provide possession, protection, or privacy.

The Takeaway
When Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24% rise in gold, it’s not a whisper on the wind; it’s a signal from the very core of the global financial system.
Gold continues to outperform, and institutional money is catching up fast.
But the smart money, the early money, is already positioning.
So don’t just take our word for it.
Take Goldman’s.
Protect your wealth while you still can, because this next chapter in gold’s story could redefine the financial landscape.
