According to a report by Jinse Finance, a research report from China International Capital Corporation indicates that, unlike the past three years, the current rise in precious metals is primarily driven by the cyclical demand for gold, while the price increase of silver has surpassed that of gold. Looking ahead to 2026, the firm believes that cyclical demand and structural trends are expected to continue driving the upward trend in gold and silver prices. In the benchmark scenario, the firm estimates that the COMEX gold price will rise to $4,500 per ounce by 2026, and the silver price will rise to $55 per ounce, indicating further upward potential compared to the current trend. The firm believes that the cyclical investment demand for precious metals has not yet reached its peak, as the U.S. monetary policy may shift to easing in the short term, and the long-term risk of inflation expectations becoming unanchored may persist. On the other hand, under the new macro order, the unique allocation value of physical gold and the strategic resource attributes of silver will become increasingly prominent, providing structural support for global central banks to buy gold, private physical investments, and regional stockpiling.
