Gold Price Today (Dec 24, 2025): Metals Hit Record Highs as Tariffs, War Fears and the AI Boom Collide — Gold vs Silver Outlook for 2026

On December 24, 2025, the global metals market delivered one of the clearest signals yet that investors and industries are bracing for a more uncertain 2026: precious metals and key industrial inputs surged to historic highs, powered by a volatile mix of geopolitics, tariff-driven trade distortions, expectations of easier monetary policy, and the relentless buildout of AI-era infrastructure. Gold briefly pushed beyond $4,500 per ounce, silver printed fresh records near $72 per ounce, and platinum also touched a new peak before prices eased as traders locked in profits in thin holiday liquidity.

New Delhi | December 24, 2025 — A fresh wave of SMS and email alerts from India’s Income Tax Department has left many taxpayers alarmed — especially those still waiting for refunds. The message that refunds have been kept “on hold” under a “risk management process” has triggered confusion across social media and tax helpdesks, with people wondering whether the communication is a notice, a penalty warning, or the start of scrutiny.

US Dollar Slides Toward Worst Year Since 2017: Yen Intervention Watch and What a Weaker Greenback Means for 2026 Investors

On December 24, 2025, currency markets delivered a clear year-end verdict: the U.S. dollar is finishing 2025 on its weakest footing in years, and the implications stretch far beyond the foreign-exchange desk. In holiday-thin trading, the greenback fell to fresh multi-month lows against key peers, while investors leaned into a growing view that the Federal Reserve has room to keep cutting rates in 2026, even as other central banks appear closer to the end of their easing cycles.
