  • Gold Price Stalls Amid Iran Conflict but Banks Predict Long-Term Gains
    March 12, 2026, 7:47 AM EDT. Gold prices have remained steady despite the Middle East conflict, trading between $5,050 and $5,200 per troy ounce.

Institutional investors show caution amid volatility, and some panic selling initially depressed prices. However, major banks like J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank maintain bullish forecasts, expecting gold to reach $6,300 and $6,000 per ounce respectively by year-end 2026. This reflects confidence in gold's long-term role amid geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
