Gold has outpaced the S&P 500, bitcoin, and even Nvidia over the past 12 months, and the pros think the good times won’t end anytime soon: Goldman Sachs just upgraded its December 2026 price target to $4,900 per ounce, up from its previous $4,300 per ounce.
On top of that, famed investor and Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio argued that putting 15% of your entire portfolio in gold makes sense, noting that today’s economic environment is similar to the 1970s.
“Gold is the only asset that somebody can hold and you don’t have to depend on somebody else to pay you money for,” Dalio said at the Greenwich Economic Forum today. That’s simple enough logic for us.

Yesterday, on the eve of the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that prompted the war in Gaza, Israel and Hamas started indirect talks in a Red Sea resort town to discuss President Trump’s 20-point peace plan. Both sides are under pressure to agree to a ceasefire, but they are also believed to be far apart on key issues—including whether Hamas will disarm and the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Going into the discussions, Hamas said it would agree to release its remaining hostages in exchange for a release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, but those details are still being hashed out as well. The White House is pushing for the talks to move quickly, and the initial phase is likely to take several days.

Fifth Third to buy Comerica as regional lenders consolidate. In what Bloomberg calls the biggest US bank deal this year, Fifth Third said it would acquire Comerica for $10.9 billion in stock. The acquisition, expected to close in the first quarter next year, would create the ninth-largest bank in the country with $288 billion in assets. The announcement sent Wall Street tongues wagging about whether a wave of consolidation could be coming to regional banking, as smaller banks look to compete with giants like JPMorgan and may want to take advantage of the Trump administration’s more open stance toward big mergers.
