The gold market opened today, Thursday, December 18, 2025, with spot gold and physical gold prices strengthening in many markets as investor interest in safe-haven assets remains high. In Indonesia, the price of Antam gold bullion rose by around IDR 17,000 per gram to reach around IDR 2,487 million per gram, continuing its recent upward trend.
Fundamental sentiment driving gold prices includes expectations of monetary policy easing by the Fed and global economic uncertainty, which has led investors to seek safer assets. However, gold is also still under pressure from the strength of the US dollar as the Fed shows a cautious stance in cutting interest rates. This movement has caused gold to move cautiously, although it remains on a generally upward trend. (az)
Gold price at the time of this analysis was released was at $4,329.
