and reports from Gelonghui, economist, financial analyst, and bestselling author of "Currency Wars" Jim Rickards stated that he would not be surprised if the price of gold reaches $10,000 and silver rises to $200 by 2026. He said that various factors driving the entire precious metals market, led by gold, will continue to play a role next year:1. The traditional drivers behind the current gold bull market — namely demand from central banks around the world and relatively stagnant supply — will remain effective for a considerable period in 2026.2.
