Gold at $6000? What will this mean?
Bank of America analyzed previous bull cycles and believes that gold could rise to $6000 (+40%) by spring 2026.
This opinion is based on the ratio of the price of gold to the price of oil — an indicator that has historically pointed to the peaks of economic cycles.
📊 What history shows
In the last four bull cycles, this indicator increased on average by 300%, and the rise in gold lasted about 3.5 years.
If the same scenario repeats itself now, we get a range of $5500–6000 per ounce.
At the same time, the current ratio is already 61, with a norm of about 20. This is a level that was previously recorded only during systemic crises: 1988, 2009, and 2020.
⚙️ Why this is important
Such growth indicates that gold is becoming more expensive not due to demand, but due to a loss of confidence in the monetary system.
Historically, this has occurred when:
• debts and deficits spiraled out of control,
• the dollar lost purchasing power,
• markets sought places to preserve capital.
