What’s driving precious metal prices in 2026
2026 has been one of the most significant years for precious metals in decades. Gold reached a record high of over $5,600 per troy ounce in January, while silver posted its strongest annual performance in more than forty years, rising around 150% through 2025.
Several forces are behind the move: central banks continuing to add gold to their reserves, ongoing currency and inflation concerns, and growing investor demand for assets outside the traditional stock market. Major banks including JP Morgan have forecast gold could reach $6,000 per ounce before the end of 2026.
