$4,900 Gold Is Coming According to Goldman—But Are You Holding the Real Thing?

EDITOR'S NOTES

Goldman Sachs just raised its forecast for gold to $4,900 by 2026—a subtle signal that even the financial giants are bracing for turbulence. In this commentary, Frank Balm digs into what this could mean for your savings and why physical gold and silver may be your best defense.

When a heavyweight like Goldman Sachs revises its gold forecast to $4,900 an ounce by December 2026, you have to stop and ask yourself: What do they see coming that most people don’t?

They’re not in the business of panic. They’re in the business of preparing—quietly, while the rest of the world is still playing pretend.

This isn’t some fringe prediction. It’s coming from one of the most plugged-in institutions in global finance. Goldman cites strong central bank demand, growing investor interest, and increased inflows into gold-related investment products as their reasoning behind the upgrade.

Let’s be clear: it’s a forecast, not a guarantee. But even the possibility of that price should be a wake-up call.

What’s Driving the Move?

Gold is already up over 50% this year—so this isn’t coming out of thin air. The pressure’s been building for a while now:

  • Central banks are hoarding gold like never before.
  • Retail investors are jumping in to hedge against inflation and geopolitical chaos.
  • And the U.S. dollar is on shaky legs as global trust in fiat currencies continues to erode.

When a juggernaut like Goldman adjusts its outlook, they’re reading the tea leaves: the system is shifting, and gold is re-emerging as the anchor.

Gold Is Gold—If You Can Touch It

Now, Goldman’s forecast is tied partly to inflows into ETFs and institutional buying—but let’s not confuse that with what you should be doing.

If you want real protection, it has to be physical. Bars. Coins. Something you can hold. Not an IOU sitting in a vault you’ll never see, managed by someone you’ll never meet.

When things go sideways, the only gold that matters is the gold you own outright.

Don’t Sleep on Silver

While gold grabs headlines, silver quietly builds value. It's the only monetary metal with massive industrial use—making it both a store of value and a workhorse in the new economy.

And right now? Silver is still wildly undervalued compared to gold. That won’t last forever.

The Big Picture: A Controlled Collapse?

Goldman’s revised forecast isn’t just a number—it’s a signal. Whether we actually hit $4,900 or not, the point is this: the trajectory is clear.

Gold is rising because trust is falling—in governments, in currencies, and in the global financial system itself.

We're not just heading into a new phase of volatility. We're heading into a reordering. And those who aren't holding real, tangible assets may find themselves locked out when it matters most.

Bottom line:
Goldman Sachs is forecasting $4,900 gold by 2026. Whether we hit that target or not, it’s a clear indication that the world's financial elites see serious disruption ahead. The question is—will you be ready?
