JPMorgan warns risks as it forecasts gold above $5,000 by Q4 2026

The bank ties its outlook to elevated risk, noting investors are weighing gold’s potential gains with the stock market near all time highs.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon used the firm’s second quarter earnings update to warn investors that multiple risks are elevated, comparing them to tectonic plates that could collide and trigger a broader shock. Against that backdrop, JPMorgan’s outlook calls for gold to rise to more than $5,000 an ounce by the fourth quarter of 2026, with the potential to move higher afterward, according to the analysis published around the call. The discussion frames gold as one potential hedge within a portfolio, contrasting bullion’s lack of “opportunity for growth” with alternatives such as gold mining stocks, which can be leveraged to changes in gold prices. It also highlights a different ownership approach through streaming and royalty companies, naming Franco-Nevada, Royal Gold, and Wheaton Precious Metals as examples of ways investors may gain exposure to gold price movements.
