Is it a good time to buy gold now or not?

Analysts are still very optimistic about gold in 2026. Bigger banks such as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs predict that the gold price will reach a high of between 5,000 and 5,400 dollars per ounce at the end of the year due to central bank purchases, diversification of portfolios, and incessant global risks. Temporary fluctuations are predicted following the movements of the US dollars and anticipations of interest rates.

Even with current levels of near all-time highs, there are still values for the long-term investors or when buying weddings/jewelry. To the traders, a better entry point may be found at a dip to 145,000 to 147,000 per 10g. Before investing, always have in mind charges, GST, and risk appetite. The prices may be a bit different across the cities and jewelers. Keep abreast of live MCX.
