U.S. interest payments on the national debt are projected to top $1.2 trillion in 2026, averaging roughly $3.0 to $3.3 billion per day. Net interest is expected to make up about 13.85% of total federal outlays for the fiscal year.
Gold prices rose to high of $4,166 per ounce on July 22. This increase was driven by rising safe-haven demand due to Middle East tensions, a softer U.S. dollar, and the removal of downward pressure during the Federal Reserve's rate-decision blackout period.
Key Drivers of the Gold Price Surge
Safe-Haven Demand: Escalating geopolitical tensions and conflict in the Middle East pushed investors toward safe-haven assets like gold
Weakening U.S. Dollar: A softer dollar made the precious metal cheaper and more attractive for international buyers.
Fed Blackout Period: The U.S. Federal Reserve entered its policy blackout period ahead of the late-July meeting, temporarily stopping hawkish speeches that usually suppress daily gold prices..
.
Morgan Stanley projects gold prices to reach $5,200 per ounce in the second half of 2026, revised down from an earlier peak target of $5,700 following a recent market pullback..
