Goldman Sachs: Bullish on Gold, Predicts Price Will Hit $4900 by 2026

2 hours ago

**Goldman Sachs: 2026 to End Global Oil Supply Volatility, Gold Seen Hitting $4,900** In its latest 2025-2026 Commodities Outlook report, Goldman Sachs said 2026 will mark the final year of global oil supply volatility. The market is poised for an average daily oversupply of 2 million barrels, driving Brent crude to an annual average of $56 per barrel in 2026 and hitting a mid-year bottom. Additionally, the bank reiterated its forecast that gold will reach $4,900 in 2026. It identified global central bank gold purchases and Federal Reserve rate cuts as the key dual drivers behind the rally. Analysis notes geopolitical risks and economic uncertainties are spurring emerging market central banks to accelerate gold holdings, while potential private investor inflows could further push prices higher. Goldman Sachs expects global central banks to maintain monthly gold purchases at roughly 70 tons in 2026, with each 1-basis-point increase in private investor allocations seen lifting gold prices by about 1.4%.

Research Report: Fragmentation Has Become the Biggest Obstacle to the Trillion-Dollar Potential of the RWA Market

December 19 — A new report from RWA.io underscores that while blockchain has spurred innovation, it has also created liquidity barriers blocking the free flow of capital across networks. As a result, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are increasingly fragmented markets rather than a unified financial system. The research found that even for the same underlying asset, identical or economically equivalent tokenized assets on different blockchains still have price gaps. Cross-network capital transfers also remain costly and complex. These inefficiencies hinder the market’s ability to self-correct via arbitrage and deliver efficient price discovery. A key outcome of this fragmentation is persistent price gaps for the same asset across chains. Economically identical tokenized assets often trade with 1-3% price differences across major networks. In traditional finance, arbitrage would quickly erase these gaps—but technical hurdles, costs, delays, and operational risks make cross-chain

Cryptocurrency Ponzi Scheme IcomTech's Senior Marketing Associate Sentenced to Nearly Six Years in Prison

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday, Dec. 19, that Magdaleno Mendoza, a 56-year-old senior promoter of the cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme IcomTech, has been sentenced to 71 months in prison for his role in the large-scale fraud targeting investors across the U.S. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York said Mendoza played a key role in recruiting victims—especially within the Spanish-speaking blue-collar community. “As a senior IcomTech promoter, Mendoza helped target Spanish-speaking users with little to no investment experience, including fellow New Yorkers,” Clayton stated. “He and his co-conspirators exploited victims’ trust to siphon millions of dollars in hard-earned money from the blue-collar community.” Founded in mid-2018, IcomTech claimed to be a cryptocurrency mining and trading firm promising investors guaranteed profits on deposits.
