Gold Outlook Remains Robust: Access Our Latest Gold Analysis

Gold has reinforced its position as a cornerstone asset for investors, delivering exceptional performance over the past year. 

In 2025, gold surged more than 50% in local terms, breaking through all-time highs above AUD $6,000 per ounce and capping off a multi-decade run of outperformance in comparison to equities and property. 

The price surge continued in the early part of 2026, with the recent pullback in gold—which has now been running for almost four months—creating what looks to be a textbook buying opportunity for the metal, with many ABC Bullion clients using this period to bolster their allocations.  

The underlying structural drivers for gold remain robust, underpinned by elevated inflation, resilient central bank buying, and strong demand for bars and coins from retail investors worldwide.  

In an environment marked by heighted economic and geopolitical uncertainty as well as shifting monetary policy trends, gold continues to provide both capital growth potential and stability within a well-diversified portfolio.  

Our newly updated Gold Starter Guide outlines the key reasons why investors continue to turn to gold to both build and protect wealth.  

It also highlights gold’s proven ability to perform during periods of market stress, highlighting how it has historically outperformed equities, cash, and bonds during major downturns.  

The guide also explores gold’s long-term track record, with prices rising more than 1,300% since 2000, alongside its role as a highly liquid asset.  

Additionally, it examines gold’s effectiveness as an inflation hedge, its strong performance in low real interest rate environments, and its tendency to outperform following shifts in policy direction from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). 

This last point is particularly timely for Australian investors given the likelihood that the RBA will cease hiking rates soon (indeed it may have already) with a shift to monetary easing almost certain in the coming months. 

Investors can also expect an overview of the range of gold investment options available through ABC Bullion, from cast bars and minted products to pooled gold solutions.
