Gold Price Prediction After the Christmas Holiday!
The gold price (XAU/USD) is likely to continue its positive trend on December 26, 2025, after the previous session showed strong upside despite the Christmas market holiday. On December 24, gold opened at $4,484.65, briefly touching $4,525.76 before closing at $4,479.37. This range reflects the continued strong upward momentum following a long rally in the precious metals market.
The key fundamentals supporting gold remain strong. Geopolitical uncertainty continues to rise, particularly regarding tensions in Latin America and global energy dynamics, so investors are still seeking safe assets. Gold, as a safe haven, tends to be sought after when geopolitical concerns are high.
Market expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut also strengthen gold's appeal. Looser monetary policy reduces the opportunity cost of holding gold, thus maintaining high investor demand.
Furthermore, the weakening of the US dollar seen before the Christmas market contributed positively to gold prices. A weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for holders of other currencies, thus boosting global demand.
However, some market participants may be taking short-term profits after the extended rally, particularly due to thin market liquidity following the holidays. This could curb the sharp rise on December 26th.
Technically, gold prices remain in a strong support area around $4,450–$4,480. As long as prices hold above this support, the bullish outlook remains intact and further upside potential is possible.
In conclusion, for December 26, 2025, gold is expected to strengthen or remain stable, supported by safe-haven sentiment, interest rate policy, and a weakening dollar, although low volatility and profit-taking may slow the pace of gains. (asd)
