While gold and silver have commanded investor attention throughout much of the calendar year, another precious metal has emerged from the shadows to deliver the most spectacular performance of 2025.

Gold futures achieved a significant milestone, surging through the previous record high of approximately $4,400 established on October 20th.

December 20, 2025 — Gold posted its second consecutive weekly gain of approximately $50 per ounce but remained range-bound near $4,340, suggesting the precious metal may have encountered near-term resistance despite a barrage of weak U.S. economic data.
