Goldman is raising Gold price target to $5,400

"We raise our Dec2026 gold price forecast to $5,400/toz (vs. $4,900 prior) because the key upside risk we have flagged--private sector diversification into gold--has started to realize. We assume private sector diversification buyers, whose purchases hedge global policy risks and have driven the upside surprise to our price forecast, don't liquidate their gold holdings in 2026, effectively lifting the starting point of our price forecast."

Watch Uranium

Almost 30% of Uranium is uncontracted, resulting in poor spot price performance. Utilities keep waiting for cheaper pounds that aren't coming. And every month they wait, the deficit grows. When they finally buy, spot won't walk higher. It'll gap. Source: Kasuha Research on X
