According to Rashad Hajiyev, a leading metals expert, gold has the potential and power to hit $8000 by the end of 2026. While explaining the reasoning on X, Hajiyev shared how the gold-to-silver ratio may end up hitting 32 by March 2026. At the same time, this 32GTS may project gold hitting $6K, with silver exploring a $187 price target. Hajiyev went ahead a notch and shared how he thinks the 2026 gold price target may ultimately be $8000 with the GTS potentially hitting 20, while silver ends up claiming a whopping high price of $400.

“The gold-to-silver ratio could reach 32 by March 2026. Gold at $6k and GTS at 32 suggest a $187 silver price. And I do not think 32 is going to be the bottom for GTS and $6k the top for gold. My ultimate gold target for 2026 is 8k with GTS potentially reaching 20, which translates to a $400 silver price. This post is not investment advice…”

Meanwhile, the country’s FX reserves are up to $1.17 trillion, the highest since 2021. As a result, total reserve assets are up to $1.37 trillion, also the highest since 2021. This comes as Japan is now the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries, at $1.2 trillion, the highest since July 2022. Gold is boosting reserve assets worldwide.”
