Baba Venga, the famous Bulgarian blind mystic, issued several ominous warnings for the year. According to him, the world may face a serious economic crisis, in which there will be a shortage of cash. In this situation, people will turn to safe assets instead of paper currency. Baba Venga had predicted that in such times people will invest in metals like gold, silver and copper. Many of his previous predictions have come true, which is why his predictions for 2026 are once again trending on social media.
Looking at the current market trends, gold prices are already strong. On MCX, gold is trading at around ₹1.69 lakh per 10 grams, which is almost 50 percent higher than in 2025. Central banks are continuously buying gold, and India’s annual purchases are said to have exceeded 100 tonnes. Market experts believe that due to ETF investments, gold may reach ₹1.62 to ₹1.82 lakh per 10 grams by Diwali 2026. This suggests that in these uncertain times, both the demand and price of gold may increase.
Silver prices are also strong at the moment, trading at around ₹3.35 lakh per kg. Copper has also reached its highest level ever. MCX copper futures ranged from ₹1328 to ₹1335 per kg, while pure copper ingots traded at ₹1400 to ₹1690 per kg. Increasing demand from electric vehicles and renewable energy sector has made copper more expensive.
Although Baba Venga’s predictions increase the attractiveness of these metals, experts recommend investing only on the basis of data and facts. Growing global distrust in the dollar, trade tensions and inflation are some of the challenges supporting the prices of these metals. Still, balance and diversification are important for investors. Gold, silver and copper may be a safe haven in 2026, but investing wisely will definitely pay off.
