Will Gold Hit Rs 9 Lakh/Tola? ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Robert Kiyosaki Predicts; What Investors Should Know

Gold is increasingly shifting from being a traditional savings instrument to a high-value luxury asset as prices continue to smash global forecasts and climb to record levels. What once sounded unthinkable is now part of everyday market conversation, with expectations of gold touching Rs 2 lakh per 10 grams becoming commonplace and projections of Rs 2.5 lakh no longer surprising investors.

Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Gold Could Hit Rs 9 Lakh per Tola

Even more aggressive targets, including Rs 3 lakh per 10 grams and extreme long-term estimates of Rs 9 lakh per tola. Fueling this debate, renowned financial author Robert Kiyosaki has added a dramatic voice to the discussion.

The Rich Dad, Poor Dad author has stated that gold prices could one day surge to $27,000 per ounce. Translated into Indian terms, this would imply a value of roughly Rs 9 lakh per tola, nearly five times current domestic levels. While Kiyosaki has not attached a timeline to this projection, his comments have intensified speculation around gold's long-term potential.

The strength in gold has been building steadily over the past two years. In 2025 alone, the metal delivered gains of around 64 percent, and it has already added about 17 percent so far this year.

According to a survey by the London Bullion Market Association, gold could climb as high as $7,150 per ounce in 2026. If such levels are reached, retail prices in India are estimated to land in the range of Rs 2.3 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh per 10 grams.

Central Banks Driving Gold Rally in India, Buying 60 Tonnes Monthly

Central bank buying has emerged as a major driver behind the surge. Authorities across developing economies are actively increasing their gold reserves as part of a broader strategy to reduce dependence on the US dollar. Goldman Sachs estimates that central banks are currently purchasing nearly 60 metric tonnes of gold every month, highlighting the scale and consistency of this demand.

Looking ahead, brokerage forecasts continue to trend higher. Goldman Sachs has raised its 2026 gold price projection to around $5,400 per ounce, while some market participants believe prices could climb to $6,400 within this year if economic and political uncertainties deepen. Most experts agree that unless the US interest rate cut cycle abruptly ends or reverses, gold is unlikely to see sustained weakness.

Poland has become a prominent example of this shift, recently raising its gold reserves to around 700 tonnes. China's central bank has also been a steady buyer, adding gold to its reserves for 14 consecutive months. These sustained purchases are tightening global supply and providing strong underlying support to prices.

Private investors are reinforcing this momentum. Gold-backed exchange traded funds have seen massive inflows, with approximately $89 billion invested into these products during 2025 alone. Expectations of a possible US interest rate cut cycle have made gold more attractive relative to bonds, encouraging investors to seek safety in bullion.

Geopolitical tensions are adding another layer of support to gold's appeal. Fresh concerns have emerged from disputes involving the US and NATO over Greenland, while questions around the independence of the US Federal Reserve have unsettled markets. These factors are pushing cautious investors toward safe-haven assets such as gold.

"The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is currently in overbought territory across all timeframes. More importantly, a Daily RSI divergence has appeared-a classic "red flag" suggesting that long positions should proceed with caution despite the bullishness. We are expecting Moderately Bullish trend in upcoming session in Gold and Silver. Crucial resistance would be at 168,790 for Gold which is a 78% of Trend based Fib. Extension level and for Silver 375,000 - 400,000 would be crucial resistance," said Aamir Makda, Commodity & Currency Analyst of Choice Broking.
