This page is a scenario simulator, not a forecast. The 3-month envelope below is a user-defined assumption; all three projection vectors are illustrative models calibrated to it. Nothing here predicts actual prices or constitutes investment advice.
Five years of real price history for gold and silver feed three independent projection vectors: a sequence-model trend (Node A), a stochastic Monte Carlo engine (Node B) and a macro liquidity overlay (Node C). The three converge on a triangulated 3-month coordinate inside your scenario envelope for Q3 to Q4 2026.

Gold, five years in one paragraph. From roughly $1,800/oz in mid 2021 to the $4,000s today: the post-pandemic inflation surge lit the fuse, the 2022 Ukraine war added a commodity shock before aggressive rate hikes knocked it back, 2023 brought US banking stress and the Middle East conflict outbreak, 2024 and 2025 saw record central bank buying as reserves diversified away from frozen-asset risk plus a tariff shock, and 2026 layered on Iran conflict spillover and rate volatility. The recent pullback tracks a sharp slowdown in reported central bank purchases, partly offset by China re-accelerating.
Silver, five years in one paragraph. From about $25/oz to the $60s: the same macro engine, plus a structural supply story. 2026 marks the sixth consecutive global supply deficit, the largest on record at roughly 215 million ounces, because mine supply is nearly flat (three quarters of silver is a byproduct of copper, lead and zinc mining, so output ignores silver prices) while solar, EV and electronics demand stays heavy even after solar makers thrifted silver use per cell by about 19%. Weather matters here mostly indirectly, through storm and drought disruption of base-metal mining and energy costs; wars, rates and central banks dominate.
Why scenarios instead of one number. The best research desks currently disagree by more than $1,100/oz on gold's year-end level. That disagreement is the honest signal: the Base, Bear and Bull presets above span it, and the engine shows you what each assumption implies for the next 13 weeks.
