- Analyst Rashad Hajiyev warns Gold and silver are at a critical point, needing to decide their price direction soon.
- Geopolitical tensions, including a delayed US-China meeting and ongoing conflict around Iran, could spike oil prices and inflation, acting as a catalyst for metals.
- Hajiyev forecasts gold could target $5,800–$6,000, while silver may eye the $140–$150 level if the rally materializes.
On March 18, 2026, analyst Rashad Hajiyev declared that precious metals have approached a critical inflection point. Investors are watching closely as gold and silver prices stall, with Hajiyev stating a “moment of truth” is near.
Consequently, market direction hinges on unfolding geopolitical events. Hajiyev links the delayed Trump-Xi meeting to a potentially prolonged military situation around Iran.
This conflict has already spurred higher oil prices. Continued spikes could reignite inflationary pressures, creating a fundamental case for a metals rally.
Meanwhile, Hajiyev projects specific price targets should the rally commence. He forecasts gold could surge toward the $5,800 to $6,000 range in the near term.
Silver, in turn, is eyeing a move to the $140–$150 level. This outlook is tied to the gold-to-silver ratio potentially breaking down toward a level of 40.
However, metals have underperformed lately amid global economic havoc. Investors remain cautious, gauging the market before making active moves this week.
