Gold Price Today at 1:16 p.m. ET (Dec 19, 2025): Spot Gold Holds Near $4,350 as Fed Cut Bets Clash With a Firmer Dollar

NEW YORK — December 19, 2025 — Gold prices are steady-to-firmer in Friday trade, with the market balancing a “rate-cuts-are-coming” narrative against a U.S. dollar that refuses to roll over for long.

Gold prices were steady-to-slightly softer on Friday morning as markets digested a cooler U.S. inflation print, a firmer dollar, and thin year-end liquidity.
