Na wa o! As we dey enter 2026, gold and oil be the two padi wey dey shape our economy like no other. For 2025, e no easy as oil and gold dey do their own dance wella, even as tensions and market wahala dey everywhere.

Gold, wey everybody sabi as ‘safe haven’, don show say e no dey carry last at all. As central banks dey waka up and down with rate cuts, gold dey follow ground well. One minute e go dey shine, another minute e dey hide. Na so e dey react to the global rate cut wahala, na im make am dey show us wetin dey happen with inflation and policy wahala.

For the other side, oil no wan gree rest. OPEC+ dey use their hand control supply, but na so regional wars and plenty issues dey push prices up and down. Demand too no dey stable as some countries dey chop oil well-well, while others dey slow down like snail. All these things together make oil price dey flex like say na gym.

As we enter this New Year, the big question wey dey ground be, wetin go happen to gold and oil? Gold dey look to see how inflation go change and whether central banks go finally fit ease pressure. If dem gree do dat one, gold fit catch plenty support; but if people start to fear risks for equity markets, den e fit mean big things for gold.

For oil, e dey also face plenty palava as OPEC+ policy dey steady like old man. Dem still dey give us wahala around production. But the real gist wey dey ground be demand. If China and other big takers no dey chop oil as dem suppose, wahala go dey. Plus with all dis renewable energy movement, oil market fit enter real gbege.

Traders dey try keep eyes open for how these two materials dey connect. Na only sharp traders wey sabi the game go see wetin dey happen fast. As Li Xing Gan, wey dey run financial markets strategy yan, talk, the key be to catch any signs early. Right now, gold dey waka like person wey dey look for better days, and if economic growth dey slow down, gold go blow like trumpet.

As 2026 dey loom, all eyes go dey on how policy changes go affect both gold and oil. The market dey look for clearer signals rather than mere headlines. If the economies stabilize, gold fit shine brighter; but for oil, we go need to watch how supply and demand balance fit play out. So, make we follow am gree and enjoy the ride abeg!
