Severe geopolitical crises persist. It remains to be seen how the situation in the Middle East will develop following the U.S. ceasefire with Iran. Furthermore, global debt continues to rise. Central banks will continue to focus on diversifying into gold and away from the U.S. dollar. And perhaps especially now, when the price of gold has fallen. Private investors, too, should view price dips as buying opportunities. While the upward trend in the price of gold has hit a few bumps, this is generally seen as the result of short-term market distortions. The precious metal’s traditional role as a safe haven will remain intact in the future.

Reports of significant gold sales by the Turkish Central Bank in the period following the start of the war in Iran certainly also weighed on the gold price. Around 60 tons of gold, worth approximately eight billion US dollars, were sold. Some of the gold was sold directly, while the majority was used to secure foreign exchange or lira. The Turkish government took this step as part of its disinflation strategy. Over the past ten years, the Turkish Central Bank has been among the most active gold buyers. But now, meeting liquidity needs, strengthening domestic demand, and combating inflation are the top priorities.

From a historical perspective, the price of gold should rise. Leading financial institutions expect this to happen, although the range of forecasts is considerable. Goldman Sachs, for example, anticipates a gold price of $5,400 by the end of 2026 in its latest forecast. Here, the inflation rate is approaching three percent and energy prices have risen. However, investors want to preserve their purchasing power. This has worked for ages with gold investments. This also includes gold mining companies.
