Local and global gold markets saw sharp increases during yesterday’s trading, reaching unprecedented levels. The surge was fueled by growing anxiety in global financial markets due to rising trade tensions among major economic powers, boosting demand for gold as a safe haven.

Analysts expect gold prices to remain elevated globally throughout 2026, with the possibility of the ounce reaching USD 6,000. This is supported by continued geopolitical tensions, the trade war, and the trend of global central banks toward lowering interest rates, which reinforces gold’s performance over the medium and long term.
