The price of Gold (XAUUSD) has surged significantly in trading on Monday (December 15, 2025), drawing closer to its all-time record high of $4,381 per troy ounce achieved on October 20.
As of this afternoon, Gold has already increased by more than $50, or 500 pips, reaching approximately $4,350.30 per troy ounce.
The yellow metal continues to benefit from the positive sentiment surrounding the Federal Reserve, which recently lowered interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.5%-3.75%. Additionally, the world’s most influential central bank has resumed bond purchases, implementing a quantitative easing (QE) program worth $40 billion. Historically, such QE measures by the Fed have been key catalysts for rising Gold prices since the 2008 global financial crisis.
Moreover, market participants remain optimistic that the Fed will enact 2 to 3 interest rate cuts in 2026, despite Governor Jerome Powell and his colleagues projecting only a single reduction.
This favorable sentiment from the Federal Reserve is expected to continue propelling Gold’s performance in today’s trading session.
