In January 2026, the price of the precious metal rose dramatically, reaching levels not seen since September 1999. Then, in March, the price plummeted. Price fluctuations are commonplace, but a new, higher equilibrium is in sight. This is because the investor community has developed into a secure foundation. Gold ETFs have seen strong inflows since 2025. In China, insurance companies have recently been allowed to invest in gold. This alone should fuel the global gold market.
Gold generates secure returns. For instance, the annual return on gold, calculated in Chinese yuan, has been 9.8 percent since the founding of the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Indian pension funds have also been investing in gold and silver for some time. These are demand drivers that should not be underestimated. Periods of low gold prices should be used as an opportunity to enter the market. Many analysts and banks anticipate a possible new record high for the gold price by 2027.
Inflationary pressure exists, driven in part by the Iran conflict, which could continue for an unknown period of time. Fiscal policy in Europe and the U.S. is also expansionary, making precious metals more attractive, especially as a hedge against the loss of purchasing power of fiat money. One scenario that could put pressure on the gold price would be if the Fed were to succeed in lowering inflation. But this carries the risk of stalling economic growth. In any case, investors should consider investments in gold and gold companies, if only for diversification purposes.
Amex Exploration (- https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/amex-exploration-inc/ -) is among the noteworthy young gold companies. The focus is on profitable gold projects in mining-friendly Quebec. The Perron gold project by Amex Exploration, in particular, hosts large and high-grade gold deposits. It is 100 percent owned by the company and stands out for its excellent infrastructure and a positive feasibility study. Ore processing is scheduled to begin in 2027. A private placement is currently set to inject fresh capital into the company’s coffers.
Banyan Gold (- https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/banyan-gold-corp/ -) owns the flagship AurMac project in the Yukon, among other projects; this project covers 303 square kilometers and benefits from excellent infrastructure. A private placement has just injected fresh capital into Banyan Gold’s coffers. Among other things, this is intended to expand the drilling program, which has already yielded promising results. A new mineral resource estimate has just reported a welcome increase in total indicated and inferred mineral resources. A preliminary economic assessment is expected later this year.
