Once in every few years, as the world stumbles grapples with new uncertainties - economic crises, political upheavals or wars - there is one name which quietly resurfaces: Baba Vanga. The blind Bulgarian mystic, whose predictions have fascinated millions for decades, is back in conversations again. This time, however, is not for the usual prophecies about global disasters or politics, but for something which is a topic of discussion everywhere - gold. According to reports, the price of gold on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) recently touched the ₹1-lakh mark per 10 grams. This is a milestone which was discussed all across the country. More recently, during Diwali, gold prices peaked at ₹13,277 per gram for 24-carat gold. Now, most people are wondering what will the future hold. Analysts suggest that gold could appreciate by 25%–40% by Diwali 2026, pushing the price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold to between ₹1.62 lakh and ₹1.82 lakh. They cite global trade tensions, inflation and banking instability as some of the reasons of this surge. The 'Cash-Crush' ProphecyAmid all of the Baba Vanga's prediction of a potential “cash-crush” or global banking crisis has emerged. As per the interpreters, this could disrupt financial systems. Historically speaking, gold prices have surged between 20%–50% during such downturns. If at all such a crisis unfolds, forecasts suggest a price range of ₹1.62–₹1.82 lakh per 10 grams by late 2026, potentially setting a new all-time high. The message is loud and clear: Gold still remains a strategic fence in uncertain times. Meanwhile, Baba Vanga also predicted a real apocalypse for 2026. She predicted devastating earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and extreme weather events that would affect almost a tenth of the Earth's surface. It is a prediction that sounds like a Netflix doomsday documentary, except this time it is for real. In a world where climate change is already a reality, which is causing such deadly scenarios, such a prophecy sounds more likely than ever. There is also some geopolitical drama that could contribute to the apocalypse. As per Vanga, the world is on the brink of World War III. Increasing tensions between global powers, the possibility of a Chinese takeover of Taiwan and a direct confrontation between Russia and the USA are some of the forecasts for the upcoming year. And all of it makes sense since geopolitical rivalries are already dominating headlines. Disclaimer: This article is based on popular beliefs.
