AI desk brief

• Gold reached $5,595/oz in January 2026 before falling to $3,870 in November. Mirae Asset Sharekhan’s Praveen Singh attributes the reversal to tighter Fed policy, higher real yields and a firmer dollar; continued hawkishness could constrain recovery.
• Mirae Asset forecasts $5,000/oz over 12 months, citing fiscal risks and reserve diversification; $6,000 is a longer-term possibility if fiscal, geopolitical and monetary risks intensify. Motilal Oswal projects $4,200 short term and $4,500–4,700 medium term, rather than an assured recovery.
• Anand Rathi’s Vedika Narvekar expects a sixth consecutive silver deficit in 2026 but flags solar thrifting. Her scenario puts support at $49: a break opens $45, a hold could support $55–60, and a confirmed move above $60 opens $72.
