Gold price forecast for 2026: Banks map a $4,275-$5,000 range after bullion’s blockbuster year

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:46 ET Gold and other precious metals may have room for further gains in 2026 as interest rates are expected to fall, analysts said, after gold climbed 66% in 2025. The rally pushed bullion to record highs on economic and geopolitical risks. Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at broker KCM Trade, said: “The key fundamental drivers of central bank demand and investor positioning ahead of expected lower U.S. rates in 2026 remain intact.” Reuters That matters now because investors start the year resetting hedge ratios and rebalancing portfolios after one of the most volatile year-end stretches

Bitcoin price forecast 2026: New calls see fresh highs after 2025 slide

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:41 ET Crypto brokerage and research firm K33 has turned bullish on the bitcoin price forecast for 2026, telling clients it expects the cryptocurrency to rebound and outperform stocks and gold after a weak 2025.

No alien signal: most sensitive radio scan of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS comes up empty

No alien signal: most sensitive radio scan of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS comes up empty

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:44 ET The most sensitive radio search yet for signs of extraterrestrial technology from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has found none, researchers reported this week. The result matters because 3I/ATLAS is a rare visitor — only the third confirmed object known to have arrived from beyond the solar system — and it is already receding after a close pass by Earth in December. Scientists have used the comet’s short observing window to test how quickly they can mount deep searches for “technosignatures,” a term for signals that would look engineered rather than natural, amid a surge
