Simulation

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.

Commodities triangulation sandbox.

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.

data: connecting…

How the triangulation works. The engine self-calibrates from the loaded five-year history: drift comes from a momentum vs mean-reversion blend (lag-1 autocorrelation decides how much the recent 26 weeks dominate), volatility comes from an EWMA estimator (lambda 0.94) that captures volatility clustering the way GARCH-class models do, and a regime detector places today's 12-week realized volatility inside its own five-year distribution. Node A projects the damped blended trend. Node B runs 400 geometric Brownian motion paths on the clustered volatility, plotting the median and the p10 to p90 band. Node C builds a stepwise vector from your liquidity bias, jumping at simulated policy events. The triangulated point is the weight-blended endpoint of the three vectors, and the structural boundary guard clamps it into your scenario envelope. Because the envelope is an input, the output always reflects your assumption; treat it as a way to explore "what would the path look like if", never as a prediction.

The research behind the scenarios July 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.
