Balanced Summary of Consensus Ranges and Key Drivers
Consensus Ranges:
3 months (March 2026): $75-90 (consolidation post-volatility)
6 months (June 2026): $80-100
12 months (end-2026): $70-120 (institutional ~$60-80; bullish outliers $100+)
Overall bullish due to structural deficits, but near-term risks from margin hikes/profit-taking.
Key Drivers: Multi-year deficits (200-400M oz), industrial demand (solar/EV/AI), ETF inflows, rate cuts; risks: substitution, recession, technical corrections.
