This article discusses speculative predictions attributed to the late Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga. Readers are advised to treat such content as folklore, not financial advice. All investment decisions should be based on sound research and professional consultation.
The prophecies of Bulgarian seer Baba Vanga are once again in the spotlight. Amidst ongoing global geopolitical tensions, economic turmoil, and fluctuations in commodity prices, people are discussing Baba Vanga’s predictions. Some of her prophecies made decades ago have proven correct, which is why people still connect her predictions to the present times. According to her predictions for the year 2026, amidst global instability, investment in precious metals like gold, silver, and copper could increase. It is indeed being observed that people are investing openly in these assets.
According to Baba Vanga’s prophecies, she warned of a time when paper currency—such as the Rupee, Yen, Dollar, Yuan, etc.—would lose its value worldwide. This would lead to a decrease in cash liquidity globally. In such a scenario, people would lose trust in the notes kept in banks. Instead, people would consider gold, silver, and other precious metals as safe havens. Gold, silver, and copper would be regarded as the safest stores of value. She suggested that due to global financial instability, investment in precious and industrial metals like gold, silver, and copper could rise. Her prophecies are widely shared on social media, although they are not based on any economic model.
According to media reports, Baba Vanga’s forecast for 2026 hints at a potential financial crisis that could drive investment towards safe-haven assets like gold and silver. Some news reports suggest that in a crisis situation, the prices of precious metals could rise significantly. For instance, the price of gold could surpass 200,000 rupees per 10 grams. Recently, we have seen the price of silver exceed 420,000 rupees per kilogram.
Amidst fluctuations in the dollar, rising global debt, and turmoil in stock markets, many believe that the economic stresses outlined in Baba Vanga’s prophecy could emerge sooner than expected. However, experts do not consider these prophecies to be credible.
Today, on Sunday, February 8, the price of 24-carat gold is around 152,078 rupees per 10 grams, while the price of silver has reached 244,929 rupees per kilogram. In the international market, the spot price of gold is around 5,088 dollars per ounce. In the domestic commodity market, April delivery gold on MCX is around 155,050 rupees per 10 grams, while March delivery silver is around 249,499 rupees per kilogram. February delivery copper is trading around 1,242 rupees per kilogram.
According to market analysts, contrary to Baba Vanga’s claims, the rise in gold and silver prices is being driven by global geopolitical tensions and strong industrial demand. Some analysts believe that gold could reach a new all-time high by the end of this year. Meanwhile, due to industrial demand, copper could also remain in high demand.
