Gold prices have surpassed $4,300 per ounce in the international market.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The lamps of Diwali may have dimmed, but the sparkle of gold continues to dominate conversations among investors and households. Even after the festive buying rush, a key question remains, will gold prices cool down now, or is another rise on the horizon?<\/p>\n

Global financial institution HSBC has released a report indicating that gold\u2019s upward trajectory is unlikely to slow down anytime soon. In the international market, gold has already surpassed $4,300 per ounce. On October 18, it was trading around $4,362 per ounce (approx 28g), suggesting sustained bullish sentiment.<\/p>\n

Gold To Reach $5,000?<\/h2>\n

HSBC expects gold to maintain its momentum even after the festive rush. The bank\u2019s report suggests that gold could surge to $5,000 per ounce by the first half of 2026, a rise of nearly $1,000 from current levels. The forecast is driven by persistent geopolitical tensions, global economic uncertainty and the entry of long-term investors treating gold as a safe asset rather than a quick profit instrument.<\/p>\n

Earlier, HSBC had projected an average gold price of $3,355 per ounce for 2025. This has now been revised to $3,455. For 2026, the estimate has been sharply increased from $3,950 to $4,600 per ounce. These figures, also cited by Reuters, reflect a shift in market behaviour where buyers are holding their gold instead of booking profits during price spikes.<\/p>\n

Why Are Gold Prices Rising?<\/h2>\n

Several factors are contributing to this rally. According to a TOI report, central banks across the world are building up their gold reserves, investment in gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is rising, and expectations of a cut in US interest rates are strengthening. Uncertainty linked to global trade disputes has further enhanced gold\u2019s appeal as a safe-haven asset.<\/p>\n

Recently, spot gold recorded one of its fastest weekly gains since December 2008, climbing above $4,300 per ounce. HSBC believes prices will likely remain elevated until early 2026, though some correction may occur in the latter half of that year.<\/p>\n

What Are Other Banks Saying?<\/h2>\n

HSBC is not alone in its projection. Bank of America and Societe Generale have also set a target of $5,000 per ounce for the coming year. ANZ Bank expects gold to reach $4,600 by June 2026 before witnessing a gradual decline.<\/p>\n

With major global banks forecasting sustained strength in gold prices, a drastic fall after Diwali appears unlikely.<\/p>\n
