WORLD (Enmaeya News) - December 15, 2025

Gold prices increased on Monday, December 15, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar, while silver prices stabilized after recording a sharp rally and a record high last week.

Spot gold gained 1.01 percent to trade at $4,343 per ounce. Prices reached their highest level since October 21 during Friday’s session, highlighting the strength of the recent upward trend.

The gains in gold came as the U.S. dollar softened. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, fell 0.09 percent to 98.306 points, making dollar-priced commodities such as gold more attractive to investors holding other currencies.

In the precious metals market, silver prices were little changed in spot trading at $62.02 per ounce. The metal had surged to a record high of $64.64 per ounce on December 12, before closing sharply lower, prompting a period of consolidation at the start of the new week.
