Gold price expectations in global markets and current bank retirement promotions
While international financial institution Natixis announced different scenarios for gold, the standard gold price rose on Borsa İstanbul and bank promotions were updated.
France-based financial institution Natixis updated its year-end gold price expectations to 4,100 dollars per ounce in its base scenario, while gold prices increased on Borsa İstanbul and banks announced their September 2026 retirement promotion amounts.
Natixis Gold Price Scenarios
France-based financial institution Natixis, through precious metals analyst Bernard Dahdah, revised its year-end expectations for gold downward and shared three different scenarios in the report.
In its base scenario, the bank expects gold to decline to 4,100 dollars per ounce by the end of 2026, while forecasting that it could drop to 3,500 dollars under more negative conditions and exceed 5,250 dollars in a supportive environment.
Economic Pressures and Fed Policies
The base scenario emphasizes that high oil prices, inflation pressure, and tight monetary policy will create pressure on gold.
It is stated that if the Fed evaluates a new rate hike in December, gold will remain under pressure, and if interest rates are kept steady in 2027, the ounce price could rise to 4,750 dollars by the end of next year.
