Goldman Sachs analysts stated in a report that surging demand for gold call options has increased the risk of sharp price volatility for gold. According to analysts including Lina Thomas, the rise in gold call option trading volume has created a "price amplification mechanism for gold’s two-way volatility." “Therefore, we still believe our forecast of gold reaching $4,900 per ounce by the end of 2026 faces significant upside risk, but gold’s rally is also subject to greater two-way volatility.”

The New York Mercantile Exchange gold futures price has surpassed $4,690 per ounce, with a daily increase of 2.60%. As a precious metal with both safe-haven and anti-inflation properties, gold’s recent strong performance is often closely related to several factors, including global macroeconomic conditions, expectations for monetary policy, and changes in geopolitical situations. This significant intra-day surge has also attracted widespread attention from market investors.
