As gold prices break through the $5,000 per ounce mark and enter an almost unprecedented period of volatility, some of the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models hold a relatively bullish (though varied) outlook on the commodity’s trend into the end of 2026.

Specifically, after entering an accelerated rise at the end of 2023, this precious metal surged rapidly in 2025, even reaching a record high of over $5,400 per ounce in January 2026.

In fact, over the past five years, gold has increased by 199%, risen 77% in the past 12 months, and has already gained 19% this year.

After such a long period of growth, gold has also entered an unprecedented phase of volatility. A recent extreme example occurred from late February to early March, when the metal fluctuated up to $600 in less than a week.

Amidst the bullish momentum and high instability, Finbold decided to consult some of the most advanced AI models to understand gold’s performance for the remainder of 2026 and possible price levels by year-end.

DeepSeek Predicts Gold Price by End of 2026

China’s most well-known AI platform, DeepSeek, quickly identified the current commodity market conditions as a “super cycle,” noting that we are in a “typical cyclical rebound.”

The model also emphasized that central banks—especially Russia and China—are actively acquiring as much gold as possible to reduce dependence on the US dollar and to mitigate “geopolitical risk premiums,” which are key drivers of this rebound.

Similarly, the AI pointed out that breaking the $5,000 per ounce threshold not only demonstrates strong tailwinds behind the commodity but also marks a critical psychological milestone that could facilitate smoother breakthroughs of subsequent resistance levels.

In this context, DeepSeek believes the overall bullish trend may continue, predicting that gold could reach a new all-time high of $5,850 per ounce, up 13.55% from the current price of $5,152.

ChatGPT Predicts Gold Price by End of 2026

In analyzing the commodity markets, OpenAI’s flagship platform—ChatGPT—largely shares similar views with its Chinese counterparts. Specifically, it highlights government actions, price momentum, geopolitical turmoil, and monetary policy as key drivers, while also noting a lack of resilience on the supply side.

Although the factors identified are similar, the first widely available large language model (LLM) in the US believes that the rebound in 2025 was too aggressive, making a more gradual upward trend in 2026 more likely as investors digest this new market reality.

Therefore, ChatGPT sets a more moderate target of $5,350 per ounce for the end of 2026—below the recent all-time high but 3.84% above the current quote.

Google Gemini Predicts Gold Price by End of 2026

Google’s Gemini uses a similar approach to analyze gold and its future trajectory. It points out that central bank demand—focusing on Poland, Brazil, and China rather than Russia—and geopolitical risks—highlighted through references to the Iran war and oil—are key factors driving the market.

Likewise, the AI analyzed the price momentum of the precious metal and noted that after breaking and maintaining above $5,000 per ounce, $6,000 has now become a “gravity center” for gold.

Finally, Gemini considers the 2025 rebound a “generational” event. Although $6,000 per ounce is attractive, such a rebound is unlikely to recur quickly; instead, a “upward consolidation” over the next nine months is expected to continue.

Therefore, Google’s main AI model forecasts gold will rise from the current $5,150 to $5,780 per ounce, an increase of 12.19%.
