From my perspective, gold
$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ near $4,500 reflects a structural shift rather than short-term speculation. Nearly 50 record highs this year, alongside silver breaking above $70, point to rising concern over monetary credibility, expanding U.S. debt, and geopolitical risk. The broad rally across gold, silver, platinum, and palladium reinforces my view that this is a systemic hard-asset trade.
I see gold reaching $5,000 in 2026 as realistic if rate cuts materialize and real yields stay pressured. Gold has lagged silver and other precious metals since Jackson Hole, suggesting it may still have room to catch up as the macro narrative becomes more widely accepted.
For positioning, I would favor ETFs over futures or leveraged ETFs. Futures require precise timing, while leveraged ETFs suffer from decay. Physical-backed ETFs and selective miners allow me to participate in the long-term metals cycle without excessive trading risk.
