While markets are still debating AI commercialization, gold has already surged past $4,800 in January, leaving many Wall Street banks’ annual forecasts far behind. $SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$ 1) Wall Street’s “Collective Miss”: A Gold Rally They Can’t CatchLooking back at last year, an interesting pattern emerged: gold kept rising, and analysts repeatedly raised their targets just to chase the trend. As we enter 2026, the same movie seems to be playing again. Morgan Stanley previously expected gold to reach $4,800 by year-end, yet the market
