JPMorgan has revised its outlook for gold prices, saying the precious metal is now expected to reach around 4300 Dollar per ounce in the third quarter and 4500 Dollar per ounce in the fourth quarter. The bank believes demand from major buying segments will be weaker than previously expected, limiting the pace of gold’s rise during the remainder of the year.

Fed Rate Hike Concerns Remain a Key Risk
The investment bank warned that the biggest downside risk to its forecast is the possibility of earlier-than-expected interest rate hikes by the United States Federal Reserve. If inflation and economic data remain stronger than anticipated over the coming months, tighter monetary policy could put additional pressure on gold prices.
Sharp Change From Previous Outlook
The revised forecast represents a significant shift in JPMorgan’s expectations. On June 9, the bank had projected that gold could climb to 6000 Dollar per ounce by the end of the year. The latest outlook reflects changing market conditions and a more cautious view on demand.
Gold Continues to Trade Firmly
Despite the downgrade in price expectations, gold remained resilient in trading. Spot gold rose about 1.3 percent to 4174.21 Dollar per ounce, marking its highest level since June 23. The metal also gained more than 2 percent over the week, showing continued investor interest.
Higher Interest Rates Could Cap Gains
JPMorgan noted that rising interest rates generally reduce the appeal of gold because it does not provide any yield. As returns on interest-bearing assets improve, investors often shift funds away from bullion, limiting further upside in gold prices.
Long-Term Bullish View Remains Intact
While lowering its short-term projections, JPMorgan continues to hold a positive long-term outlook for gold. The bank expects prices to strengthen further in 2027, supported by sustained central bank purchases, healthy physical demand, and long-term structural factors driving gold accumulation.
Silver Outlook Remains Positive
JPMorgan expects silver prices to average between 60 Dollar and 65 Dollar per ounce during its forecast period. The bank believes improving physical market conditions and a normalization of the gold-to-silver ratio will support silver prices.
Platinum and Palladium Forecasts
The bank forecasts platinum to average around 1800 Dollar per ounce by the end of 2026 and rise to approximately 1950 Dollar per ounce by the end of 2027, supported by supply constraints in South Africa. Palladium is expected to reach 1350 Dollar per ounce by the end of 2026 before averaging about 1300 Dollar per ounce in 2027, reflecting continued weakness in the broader precious metals market.
