Gold price prediction talk centres on Rs 1.60 lakh per 10 gm by Dec 2026 end. The MCX Gold 4 Dec futures contract traded at Rs 1,42,611 at about 1:15 PM on 23 Oct 2026, down 0.49%, so the target is about 12.2% away (my calculation). Gold is up about 26% in rupee terms since 1 Oct 2025, but it has slipped from Rs 1,48,431 on 16 Oct.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gold price prediction views in India range from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 1.8 lakh per 10 gm through 2026, according to an ICICI Bank Research report published in May. A move to Rs 1.60 lakh from the current Rs 1,42,611 would need a gain of about 12.2% in about six weeks to the 4 Dec expiry, which is far faster than the 26% gained over the past year. Supports include a weak rupee, a 15% import duty and central bank buying, while a strong dollar and weak ETF flows are the headwinds. This is an educational view and not a forecast I can guarantee.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
