Turkey gold price surge continues

Entities: Gold · U.S. Federal Reserve · Federal Reserve · United States · Middle East peace hopes

Overview

On 7 August 2026 spot gold in Turkey rose to about $4,254 per ounce, delivering a weekly gain of more than 5 % – the strongest performance since January 2026. The rally was again tied to falling oil prices, which eased inflation expectations, and to renewed optimism about Middle‑East peace after U.S. President Donald Trump signalled a possible end to the Iran‑U.S. conflict.

StoneX’s Matt Simpson highlighted the $4,000 level as solid support and projected the price could climb to $4,600 or higher if the trend persists, while UBS’s Mark Haefele forecast a possible rise to $5,000 in the first half of 2027. Market participants are also watching the U.S. July non‑farm payroll report for clues on the Federal Reserve’s rate‑path, with the FedWatch tool still indicating roughly a 55 % chance of a September hike.

These factors echo earlier drivers that lifted gram gold above 6,534 TL and the ounce to $4,261 in August 2024, underscoring the continued sensitivity of Turkey’s gold market to global commodity trends, monetary‑policy expectations and geopolitical developments.
