On the global market, gold prices edged higher in midday US trading on Tuesday, as economic data suggested the US economy remained stable, neither overheating nor cooling too sharply, Kitco said.
According to goldprice.org, spot gold rose 7.63 points, or 0.18%, to $4,313.56 per ounce as of 10:11 p.m. New York time on Dec. 16, 2025.
Kitco noted that US nonfarm payrolls increased by 64,000 in November, rebounding from a revised 105,000 drop in October, underscoring continued choppiness in the labor market. The unemployment rate edged up to 4.6%, slightly above market expectations, reflecting persistent difficulties for job seekers.
US retail sales were little changed in October, as weaker auto sales and softer gasoline receipts offset strength in other spending categories. Meanwhile, S&P Global data showed US business activity expanded at its slowest pace in six months in December, while input price pressures climbed to a more than three-year high.
