Gold prices soar, rally towards Rs 1.5 lakh by 2026

Gold has seen impressive returns of around 63% in rupee terms and 53% in dollar terms since last Dhanteras, with a potential rise to Rs. 1.5 lakh per 10 grams by 2026, according to a report from Ventura Securities.

The surge in gold prices is driven by dovish signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve, ETF inflows, and central bank purchases. Gold prices have soared from $3,000 an ounce to $4,254 since March 2025, and in India, prices have risen from Rs. 78,840 per 10 grams to Rs. 128,200.

Ventura’s report predicts a further rally, with gold possibly reaching $5,000 an ounce or Rs. 1.5 lakh per 10 grams by 2026. Rising risks in the U.S. labor market and escalating trade tensions with China are also fueling demand for gold.
