Will the price of physical gold per ounce exceed $3,000 USD for a sustained period (30 consecutive days) before the end of 2027?

Gold at $3,000: Sustained for a Month by 2027?

Gold has risen steadily in the mid-2020s (simulated price: hovering around $2,200), boosted by geopolitical instability and persistent inflation concerns. This prediction asks if the price will exceed $3,000 USD per ounce and remain above that level for 30 consecutive days before the end of 2027.

The Crisis Hedge

The vote is balanced. Achieving the $3,000 mark requires a major, sustained global event—either a severe loss of confidence in fiat currencies (hyper-inflation or currency crisis) or a significant escalation of a global conflict. While central bank buying remains strong, the $3,000 threshold represents a major flight to safety. The lack of a clear, predictable catastrophe keeps the 'No' camp strong, but the lingering risk gives the 'Yes' a solid footing.
