John Paulson predicts gold to reach $5000

ByVictoria

Central bank gold buying and global trade tensions are likely to push bullion prices to near $5,000 an ounce by 2028, billionaire investor John Paulson said in an interview during which he reinforced his commitment to U.S. mining projects

Already the largest shareholder in Idaho gold and antimony developer Perpetua Resources, Paulson last week bought a 40% stake in NovaGold’s Donlin gold project in Alaska from Barrick.

“It’s a well-informed prediction. I think that’s a reasonable number,” he said.

“As central banks and people look to put their money in a more stable source… I think gold will increase its position in the world,” he added

    After a strong run for precious metals, gold mining shares still look undervalued.

    That’s the view from JP Morgan’s latest note on listed producers, which argues there’s room for substantial upside, especially if its bullish forecast for the precious metal proves right.

    Its commodities team is pencilling in a price of $4,100 an ounce for 2026. That’s well above current spot levels of $3,320 and would mark a new all-time high.

    Based on that estimate, JP Morgan sees around 40–50 per cent upside to average analyst expectations for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation across the sector.

    Gold prices have steadied after surging to a record high amid early signs of consolidation following the rally built on fears around U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policies.

    The precious metal eased to close at $3,287.72 an ounce on Wednesday, down 6.1% from the all-time peak of $3,500.05 hit on April 22.

    Total gold investment flows sky-rocketed by 170% in the first quarter of 2025 from the same period a year earlier, reaching 552 metric tons, the highest since the first quarter in 2022, the WGC said in its report on Wednesday.
