Modeling Gold to 2030
As gold trades near historic heights, analysts update long-term structural models. This forecast outlines base, bull, and bear scenarios driven by monetary expansion, Asian retail demand, and inflation dynamics.
Compare scenarios with the all-time high record and live spot price.
Baseline Scenario: Steady Ascending Corridor
Our baseline model (60% probability) targets $2,800–$3,200 per ounce by 2030, driven by fiat expansion and persistent currency inflation across major economies.
Bullish Breakout Scenario
In the bull case (25% probability), gold could approach $3,500–$4,000 per ounce if sovereign debt stress, currency crises, or institutional reallocation accelerate. ETF inflows matching historic peaks would tighten spot supply rapidly.
