Gold Prices Plummet 21% from Peak: Experts Predict $10,000/Ounce by Decade End

• Gold prices have fallen by almost 21% from their January 2026 peak of $5,594.82, marking the largest weekly decline in 50 years.
• Despite the current 'Bear Market', experts like Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research predict gold could reach $10,000 per ounce by the end of the decade.
• This short-term decline is attributed to temporary factors, not fundamental changes.
• Three key factors supporting long-term gold prices are geopolitical uncertainty, central bank gold purchases, and increasing Asian ETF investments.
• In Indian terms, $10,000 per ounce could translate to ₹9.3 lakh per 10 grams.
