bofa sees gold at 5k by 2026 silver bullish too tredu

Bank of America’s Global Research team has delivered a striking upgrade: raising its 2026 gold forecast to $5,000 per ounce, with an average expectation of $4,400. Simultaneously, it sees silver climbing to $65/oz by 2026. These forecasts arrive as gold recently surpassed the $4,000/oz milestone for the first time, and investors scramble for hedges amid macro and geopolitical turbulence. BofA expects investment demand to grow ~14%, replicating the strength seen in 2025. That demand could help push gold toward $5,000/oz. ETF inflows, central bank buying, and macro hedging are highlighted as key supporting drivers.

On silver, while BofA anticipates an 11% drop in demand in 2026, it argues that the structural deficit and disruptions in physical markets will keep silver supply tight. That tension, it says, supports a $65 target.
