Will the price of gold close above $5,500 USD per ounce for any single trading day before the end of 2027?

Gold Price Target: $5,500 by 2027?

With gold already trading well above the $4,000/oz mark in late 2025, reaching the $5,500 threshold would require a continuation of the powerful, structural bullish trend. This growth is fueled by massive central bank purchases (de-dollarization efforts) and persistent geopolitical uncertainty.

A Flight to Safety

The balanced vote reflects the required magnitude of the increase (approximately 35% from current levels). Achieving $5,500 would likely require a major, unexpected global shock—such as a renewed, widespread financial crisis, a significant escalation of current geopolitical conflicts, or a sustained inflationary crisis where confidence in fiat currencies collapses. While the fundamentals are strong, the jump is substantial.
