Gold on the international market rose more than 1 percent on Thursday, hitting its strongest level in over a month after the Federal Reserve delivered another 25-basis-point rate cut.

Data from goldprice.org showed spot gold at $4,272.09 per ounce, up 75.33 points or 1.79 percent as of Dec. 11, 2025, 09:52 p.m. New York time.

The US dollar slid to an eight-week low against a basket of major currencies, making dollar-priced bullion cheaper for overseas buyers and amplifying demand.

Lower interest rates typically boost gold, a non-yielding asset, by reducing the opportunity cost of holding it. The Fed’s back-to-back cuts, its third in a row, come even as inflation remains well above the 2 percent target.

While signaling a possible pause ahead, the central bank said it needs more time to assess “relatively high” inflation and labor-market conditions.

US President Donald Trump has continued pressing for lower rates in his second term, and his nominee for the next Fed Chair is expected to maintain the current dovish stance. White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett is seen as the leading candidate.
