Gold Fell 3.4% This Week. The Long-Term Case Didn’t.

Gold fell 3.4% in the week ending July 17 — its largest weekly decline since June 1. Six days of U.S.-Iran escalation drove oil up 12%, repricing Fed rate-hike odds and pressuring gold to $3,968. Banks cut their 2026 average forecasts. Asia’s physical buyers did the opposite — and the structural case for gold ownership remains intact.

Bank of America Cut Its Gold Forecast. The Reason Is More Bullish Than It Looks.

Stack of 400 oz fine gold bullion bars with serial numbers, set against a blurred financial trading screen — illustrating the Bank of America gold forecast 2026 revision and its implications for gold prices.

Bank of America cut its 2026 average gold price forecast by 14% to $4,360 an ounce on July 8, citing a more hawkish Federal Reserve. The same research note preserved the bank’s $5,000 per ounce in reach target — and the reason it couldn’t raise rates aggressively enough to end the thesis is the story most coverage missed.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
