Gold prices may rise again due to central bank demand, geopolitical uncertainties, and potential shifts in Germany's approach. After reaching around $5,500 per ounce in January 2026, prices corrected to about $4,013 by October 23. Analysts predict a possible return to $5,000 per ounce within a year, influenced by economic conditions and geopolitical risks. Central banks are significant gold buyers, with a recent survey indicating a record number planning to increase their reserves. Joachim Nagel from Bundesbank highlighted gold's role in reserve management amid rising bond yields and public debt concerns. The market awaits further signals from Western European central banks, which could impact gold prices significantly. In Romania, local gold prices are affected by international rates and currency fluctuations, with a recent reference price of 752.08 lei per gram.
