Gold price breaks $4,600 record; GLD ETF and gold stocks jump on Powell probe

Gold price breaks $4,600 record; GLD ETF and gold stocks jump on Powell probe

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:35 (EST) — Regular session SPDR Gold Shares climbed 2.4% on Monday, buoyed by gold prices soaring past $4,600 an ounce—a new record. That jump sparked renewed interest in gold-backed assets. The ETF, which mirrors bullion and trades like a stock, last changed hands at $424.45. (Financial Times) This move matters because it’s no longer just about commodities. It’s about rates and politics. Gold usually gains traction when investors question the direction of interest rates and the steadiness of policy. Spot gold climbed 2.5% to $4,620.56 an ounce in late morning trading, after hitting a

Gold price smashes $4,600 record and gold stocks jump — here’s what traders watch next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:26 EST — Regular session underway. Newmont surged close to 4% Monday, following gold’s break above $4,600 an ounce as investors sought safer havens amid political unrest. (Reuters) The move is significant because miners’ earnings can magnify shifts in bullion prices, while rate forecasts and the dollar can swing sharply when trust in institutions wavers. Spot gold — the price for immediate delivery — climbed 1.7% to $4,584.91 an ounce after hitting $4,620, and U.S. gold futures rose 2.1% to $4,596.70; silver reached $85.69 before retreating slightly. “Elevated uncertainty plays directly into the gold market,”

Gold.com stock steadies as Monex deal closes and gold prices hit a one-week high

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 10:06 EST — Regular session Gold.com Inc shares were little changed on Tuesday, up less than 0.1% at $36.35 in early U.S. trading, after the precious-metals dealer confirmed it had closed its acquisition of Monex Precious Metals. The deal lands as gold prices regain momentum, a backdrop that can lift volumes for retailers and traders that make money on buying and selling bullion, coins and storage services. Gold.com has been building out that direct-to-consumer model as investors look for hedges against geopolitical risk and shifting U.S. rate expectations. Spot gold rose 0.4% to $4,463.63 an

Gold price jumps on Venezuela strikes, lifting GLD and gold miners in New York trade

Gold price jumps on Venezuela strikes, lifting GLD and gold miners in New York trade

New York, January 5, 2026, 13:31 EST — Regular session Shares of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), a gold-backed exchange-traded fund, rose on Monday as bullion prices jumped on renewed geopolitical risk tied to Venezuela. The move matters because gold entered 2026 near record levels after a strong 2025 run, leaving markets sensitive to shocks that can trigger rapid shifts in positioning. It also lands as investors reassess the outlook for U.S. interest rates, a key driver for gold because the metal does not pay interest and tends to look more attractive when yields fall. Spot gold rose 2.7% to $4,447.05

Wheaton Precious Metals stock slips as gold cools into 2026; Fed and jobs data loom for WPM

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:11 ET — Market closed Wheaton Precious Metals Corp shares (WPM) last closed down 1.2% at $117.52 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Yahoo Finance The late-year dip followed profit-taking across precious metals after a standout 2025, when gold climbed 66% and silver gained 161%, Reuters reported. Reuters That matters for Wheaton because it is a precious-metals streamer: it finances mines in exchange for the right to buy a portion of production at preset prices, tying results closely to swings in gold and silver.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 04:51 ET — Premarket Shares of Skeena Resources (SKE) slipped 1.8% to $24.97 in premarket trading on Monday, after the Canadian gold-silver developer finished Friday’s session up 3.8% at $25.42. StockAnalysis The early dip tracks a broader pullback in precious metals after a sharp year-end run that has lifted mining shares and related equities. Reuters That matters for Skeena because the company is still in the development stage, leaving its valuation closely tied to investor sentiment on gold and silver prices rather than operating cash flow.
