Jamie Dimon, the man in charge of America’s biggest bank, who is very worried about a crash, told us in October that:
‘Gold could easily go to $5,000, $10,000 in environments like this.’
More importantly, he added:
‘This is one of the few times in my life it’s semi-rational to have some in your portfolio.’
Let’s unpack that statement. Gold is currently trading above $4,000 per ounce. For Dimon to say it’s only now ‘semi-rational’ to own gold reveals more about Wall Street’s traditional blind spots than it does about gold itself.
But Dimon isn’t alone anymore. The world’s most powerful financial institutions are suddenly singing the same tune, and their price targets are staggering:
JPMorgan has lifted its long-term gold forecast by 80%, from $2,100 to $3,850 per ounce. The bank now sees gold averaging $5,055 per ounce by Q4 2026, citing lasting investor demand and steady central bank buying. In a separate report, it forecasts gold could exceed $8,000 per ounce by 2028 as investors increasingly use it to hedge equity risk. At those prices, gold would become a $60+ trillion asset class within three years.
Goldman Sachs maintains its $4,900 per ounce target for end-2026, citing strong strategic demand and ‘structural and persistent buying’ that increases the likelihood prices could surpass even that target.
Bank of America’s Michael Hartnett projects gold hitting $6,000 by April 2026. His analysis: ‘Average gold jump past 4 bull markets ≈ 300% in 43 months.’
Société Générale hiked its gold price target from $4,000 to $5,000 by end of 2026.
Morgan Stanley now suggests a 60/20/20 portfolio split, with gold taking 20%; a dramatic shift from traditional 60/40 stock/bond allocations.
The LBMA’s Annual Gathering projects gold rising to nearly $5,000 an ounce over the next 12 months.
These aren’t fringe newsletter writers or gold bugs.
These are the institutions that manage trillions in assets, suddenly telling clients that gold deserves a prominent place in portfolios.
