How gold is evolving in 2026
So far in 2026, the price of gold has shown a significant overall revaluation, driven by the continued search for safe haven assets in a context of macroeconomic uncertainty. For example, market data compiled by Trending Economics shows that gold is up more than 60–68% year-on-year and has also seen a rebound in the medium term after hitting all-time highs above $5,000 per ounce at the beginning of the year, before some recent corrections.
This reflects that, despite some volatility and specific corrections, the underlying trend remains bullish in 2026, with strong investor interest and forecasts that maintain high levels compared to previous historical ranges. On average, the price of gold this year has been above $4,700–4,800 per ounce, representing a double-digit appreciation so far in 2026 compared to the beginning of the year.
