Gold price pulls back from record highs as profit-taking bites; Fed in focus next

NEW YORK, Jan 17, 2026, 12:45 PM EST — Market closed. Gold dropped more than 1% on Friday as investors cashed in following a sharp rally to record highs, with easing geopolitical tensions cutting into the metal’s safe-haven appeal. Spot gold slipped 0.5% to $4,592.29 an ounce by 1:39 p.m. ET, after touching a low of $4,536.49. U.S. gold futures closed down 0.6% at $4,595.40. Still, bullion gained roughly 1.9% for the week, having hit $4,642.72 on Wednesday. “The de-escalation of Middle East tensions has also removed some of the geopolitical premium,” said Edward Meir, analyst at Marex.

Gold price slips from record highs as profit-taking bites; Fed bets back in focus

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 10:04 EST — Regular session Gold slipped on Friday as investors cashed in gains following recent record highs, while signs of easing geopolitical tensions dulled some of the metal’s appeal as a safe haven. Spot gold dropped 0.2% to $4,606.54 an ounce by 9:14 a.m. ET, still poised for a second straight weekly rise of roughly 2.1% after hitting a record $4,642.72 on Wednesday. U.S. February gold futures edged down 0.3% to $4,610.70. “It’s a general retreat in the commodity complex,” said Marex analyst Edward Meir, highlighting profit-taking and de-escalation in the Middle East. Data from LSEG showed markets pricing in a first quarter-point rate cut in June, while physical demand in India remained soft and China premiums stayed firm ahead of the Lunar New Year.

Gold price slips from record, nudging GLD and Newmont lower in early trade

New York, January 15, 2026, 10:06 EST — Regular session Gold-linked ETFs and miners slipped Thursday as bullion eased off record peaks. SPDR Gold Shares dropped 0.5%, VanEck Gold Miners ETF lost 0.3%, and Newmont edged down 0.1% in early New York hours. Spot gold slid 0.3% to $4,607.59 an ounce by 9:32 a.m. ET, after hitting $4,642.72 the day before. Meanwhile, U.S. February futures fell 0.5% to $4,612.50. The retreat came as the dollar climbed, pushing the dollar index to its highest level since Dec. 2, driven by jobless claims beating forecasts and President Donald Trump’s softer stance on Iran. Trump also said he has no plans to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. “The dollar index is at a multi-week high and that’s providing a bit of a headwind for gold,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals.

Powell DOJ threat shakes markets: gold tops $4,600 as dollar slips and Dow futures dip

Powell DOJ threat shakes markets: gold tops $4,600 as dollar slips and Dow futures dip

U.S. stock index futures dipped on Tuesday after the heads of the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and nine other central banks issued a rare joint statement backing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. At 5:09 a.m. ET, S&P 500 e-minis were down 0.14% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis fell 0.24%, pointing to a softer open as traders braced for U.S. inflation data expected to show consumer prices accelerated in December. Powell said the Justice Department served the Fed with grand jury subpoenas on Friday, threatening a criminal indictment tied to his Senate testimony last June over a $2.5 billion renovation of Fed buildings in Washington. He called the move “pretexts” aimed at winning presidential influence over interest rates, with his term as chair due to end in May.
