India, Dec 05 : As 2026 begins, gold and silver are once again in the spotlight. On the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), the price of 10 grams of gold recently touched ₹1 lakh, prompting speculation about further increases especially in the wake of geopolitical tensions such as the US military actions in Venezuela. Currently, 24-karat gold in Delhi is priced at ₹1,35,970 per 10 grams, while silver costs ₹2,41,000 per kilogram.
According to Baba Vanga, the year 2026 may bring major financial upheavals that could significantly impact precious metal markets. She predicts that a potential global financial crisis could lead to a liquidity crunch or banking instability, historically conditions under which gold tends to soar.
Projected Gold Price Hike in 2026
Experts suggest that if a major economic crisis occurs, gold prices could rise by 25% to 40%. By Diwali 2026 (October-November), the price of 10 grams of gold in India could reach between ₹1,62,500 and ₹1,82,000, potentially breaking previous records.
Reasons Behind the Surge
Market analysts cite several factors driving demand for gold and silver: fears of a global trade war, rising inflation, currency fluctuations, and an impending economic recession. These uncertainties make gold and silver attractive as safe-haven investments, prompting both individual and institutional investors to increase their holdings despite rising prices.
Baba Vanga’s predictions for 2026 have once again sparked curiosity about the potential impact of global economic events on gold and silver, highlighting the enduring appeal of precious metals in uncertain times.
