Gold futures are poised for a sharp rerating, with prices projected to surge from 5,204.7 on 2026‑03‑01 to 7,474.5 by 2026‑05‑24—a +43.6% move into new cyclical highs—driven by a front‑loaded repricing of a global shift from restrictive to accommodative policy as markets discount 75–100 bps of net easing from the Fed, ECB, and BoE and real yields roll over. Layered on top of this rate‑cycle inflection, persistent 800–1,000 tonne annual central bank buying and a structurally tighter physical float set the stage for outsized upside as macro hedgers and speculative flows converge on a shrinking pool of available gold.
