World Bank’s latest assessment: Gold and silver are likely approaching near-term highs, with limited room for further upside

The newly released *Commodity Markets Outlook* shows that the World Bank has issued a fairly cautious judgment on the future trajectory of precious metals.
The report notes that, amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts and rising energy prices, market inflation expectations are further amplified, while expectations for interest rate hikes are also strengthened. These macro factors drive an increase in precious metals in the short term, but they also gradually constrain the space for gold and silver to rise significantly further.
In terms of specific forecasts:
Gold: The average price in 2026 is expected to be about 4,700 USD per ounce, up about 37% from last year; but by 2027, the gold price may fall by about 7%.
Silver: Silver’s trend is similar to gold. In 2026, the average price is expected to be about 70 USD per ounce, up about 76% year over year, followed by a possible pullback of around 7% in the following year.
Overall, precious metals still have some resilience in the short term, but as macro policies and market sentiment change, their upward momentum may gradually slow down.
In the investment market, every asset goes through a cycle of rising, oscillating, and returning to rationality.
Real investment wisdom is not just seeing the rise and fall in front of you, but understanding the logic of how funds flow among different assets.
When market sentiment is at its hottest, it is often the time for calm thinking.
Long-term winners are often the ones who stay clear-headed amid changes in the cycle. 🚀#WCTC交易王PK #加密市场小幅下跌 #Polymarket每日热点 $SSV $CHZ
