-22nd International Gold Price ¡è 0.4%
-Today's Gold Price (Korea Gold Exchange 0%-)
The international gold price rose for two consecutive trading days, hitting a three-month high. The weak dollar and Trump uncertainty pushed up the gold price.
On Wednesday (22nd local time), the February gold futures price on the New York Mercantile Exchange (COMEX) closed at $2,770.90 per ounce, up 0.4% ($11.7) from the previous trading day. This is the highest closing price in about three months since October 30 last year, and is approaching the all-time high of $2,800.80 recorded at that time.
As of 2:29 p.m. ET (2:29 p.m. GMT), the spot gold price was trading at $2,755.2 per ounce, up 0.4%.
The rise in gold prices on the day was due to the weak dollar and uncertainty about US President Donald Trump¡¯s policy plans.
The dollar index fell to 107, the lowest level in three weeks. The weak dollar is a favorable factor for gold, as it lowers the perceived price of gold, which is usually traded in dollars, and stimulates overseas buyers¡¯ buying sentiment.
President Trump¡¯s unclear economic policy direction also supported gold prices.
Trump said he could impose tariffs of around 25% on Mexico and Canada starting next month. However, Trump did not provide many specifics on the proposed tariffs, raising questions about the strength of the measures and the potential severity of their impact.
Gold is often considered a safe haven asset during times of economic and geopolitical turmoil, but the policies proposed by former President Trump are widely seen as inflationary, which could force the US Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates for an extended period of time to curb rising price pressures. That is, there is also a possible interpretation that Trump¡¯s tariff policy could cause inflation, which in turn could lead to higher interest rates, limiting the rise in gold prices.
¡°(Trump) has been a bit less hawkish on tariffs than expected, which is helpful,¡± said independent metals trader Tai Wong. ¡°Fewer or lower tariffs are interpreted as indicating lower inflation and therefore more potential for rate cuts.¡± He added that ¡°if Trump¡¯s tariff policy is weaker than expected, inflation pressures will be lower, which will increase the possibility of rate cuts, which will lead to a weaker dollar, which could support the rise in gold prices.¡±
Meanwhile, spot silver prices were flat at $30.86, but hovered near the one-month high recorded on Jan. 16. Platinum rose 0.8% to $950.50, while palladium surged 3% to $987.41.
The domestic gold price, which has been rising for two consecutive days, is holding steady.
On the 23rd, at the Korea Gold Exchange, when consumers buy 1 don (24k, 3.75g) of pure gold, the price is 542,000 won (including VAT), the same as the previous day (as of 3:20 p.m.). The domestic gold price has been consistently trading around 540,000 won since the 10th due to the recent rise in the won/dollar exchange rate.
The price when consumers sell 1 don of pure gold is 482,000 won, the same as the previous day. The prices when selling 18k and 14k are 354,300 won and 274,800 won, respectively, similar to the previous trading day (when buying 18k and 14k, the product price is applied).
In addition, the silver purchase price was 6,270 won, down 0.32% from the previous trading day, and the sale price was 4,990 won, down 0.4% from the previous day. The platinum purchase price was 191,000 won, down 0.52% from the previous day, and the sale price was 155,000 won, the same as the previous day.
The won-dollar exchange rate in the Seoul foreign exchange market opened at 1,437.5 won, down 0.1 won from the previous trading day. The decline in the exchange rate can act as a factor in lowering import prices, and can also have a direct or indirect effect on gold prices.
The gold price on the Korea Exchange (KRX) is being traded at 129,910 won per gram, down 0.18% from the previous trading day's closing price (as of 3:20 p.m.).
Detailed domestic gold price inquiries can be found on the Korea Gold Exchange and Korea Exchange (KRX) websites.
Meanwhile, StoneX Financial, a U.S. financial services company, released a report on the outlook for the gold market in 2025 on the 22nd, predicting that gold prices will be strong in the first half of the year due to geopolitical uncertainty and financial instability. However, it predicted that gold prices will be relatively weaker than other metals such as silver, copper, and tin in the second half as these factors ease.
The report points out that the current international situation is more uncertain than a year ago. Several factors are working together, including instability in the Middle East, political polarization in Europe, the vulnerability of some governments, and President-elect Trump's policy direction. In particular, it emphasized that it is difficult to predict how Trump's policies will change as they pass through Congress.
Regarding the Chinese economy, it predicted that it would achieve a GDP growth rate of about 5%, but pointed out problems such as a sluggish real estate market and increased local government debt. In order to solve these problems, it predicted that the Chinese government will stimulate the economy through monetary and fiscal policies.
In terms of the gold market outlook, it analyzed that geopolitical risks and uncertainty over new government policies will act as factors that will increase gold prices. In particular, the high level of national debt limits the flexibility of fiscal policy, which makes it difficult to respond to economic and financial shocks, highlighting the value of gold as a safe asset. It also mentioned that the trend of gold purchases by central banks of each country will have a significant impact on market sentiment.
However, these factors are already largely reflected in the price of gold, and it is expected that they will gradually ease in the second half. Therefore, StoneX forecasted that the price of gold will show strength, such as exceeding $3,000 in the first half, and then turn to a downward trend in the second half. On the other hand, silver, copper, and tin are expected to lead the market in 2025 due to increased demand due to the acceleration of eco-friendly and digital transformation.
A StoneX official explained, "The price of gold, which was $2,609 per ounce at the end of 2024, is expected to temporarily exceed $3,000, recording an average of $2,950 in 2025. However, it is expected to fall to $2,780 by the end of the year, recording an annual increase of 6.6%."
In conclusion, according to StoneX, the gold market in 2025 will be strong in the first half due to geopolitical risks and preference for safe assets, but will be relatively weak compared to other metals in the second half. Investors should carefully consider this outlook and make investment decisions, StoneX added.
