Gold extends historic rally as global cues lift domestic prices on holiday
Gold prices stayed elevated on December 25, supported by global policy expectations and geopolitical tensions, as the metal marked one of its strongest annual rallies in decades.
Precious metal prices remained firm on December 25 as gold continued to consolidate near record levels amid supportive global cues. International spot gold held just above USD 4,494 in morning trade, sustaining a weekly gain of around 3.5%. According to an Augmont Bullion report released earlier this week, gold crossed USD 4,500, or nearly ₹1,38,000, for the 50th record session in 2025. Expectations of easier US monetary policy, persistent geopolitical risks, and steady investment demand have driven the rally, with domestic prices in major cities reflecting the global uptrend despite the market holiday.
