Gold Price Forecast: Industry Delegates See 5,013 Dollar in 12 Months

One of the key takeaways from the conference was the outlook for gold prices. According to a poll of delegates attending the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) annual gathering, gold is expected to reach around 5,013 dollar per troy ounce over the next 12 months.

The forecast compares with a reported current price of approximately 4,170 dollar per ounce, indicating that delegates expect significant upside for the yellow metal over the coming year.

Gold has experienced considerable volatility following its strong performance in 2025. The metal gained 64% in 2025, marking its strongest annual rise since 1979, while it reached a record high of approximately 5,595 dollar per ounce in January.

However, gold was reported to be down around 3% so far this year, amid expectations that interest rates could remain elevated for longer.

Silver Price Forecast: 97 Dollar Per Ounce Expected

The outlook for silver was also notably bullish. Delegates participating in the annual LBMA poll forecast that silver could climb to approximately 97 dollar per ounce over the next 12 months.

That compares with a reported price of around 61 dollar per ounce, pointing to a substantial expected increase.

Silver surged 147% during 2025, although it has subsequently declined around 14% so far this year, according to the figures presented at the conference.

Platinum Also Expected to Gain

The positive outlook extended beyond gold and silver. Conference poll results indicated that delegates also expect platinum and palladium prices to move higher over the next year.

Platinum Forecast

Platinum was forecast to rise to around 1,914 per ounce dollar, compared with a current level of approximately 1,706 dollar per ounce. The metal was reported to be down around 17% so far this year.

Precious Metals Market Outlook Remains in Focus

The forecasts presented at the conference underline continued interest in the future direction of precious metals. Despite recent declines in some metals, delegates expect gold, silver, platinum and palladium to recover and move higher over the next 12 months.

The outlook will remain closely watched by investors, bullion dealers, refiners, miners and other participants across the precious metals industry.
