Gold Price Today (Dec. 25, 2025, 10:19 AM ET): Spot Gold Holds Near $4,480 After Record $4,526 Surge

Gold prices are taking a breather on Thursday, December 25, 2025, as Christmas Day market closures drain liquidity and leave traders leaning on Wednesday’s final pricing as the most reliable benchmark. Still, the pause comes near historic highs after bullion smashed through the $4,500-per-ounce psychological level earlier this week. At around 10:19 a.m. Eastern Time, spot gold (XAU/USD) was hovering near $4,479 per ounce—effectively consolidating just under $4,500 after a record run. Live spot screens showed bids in the $4,478–$4,481 zone, a narrow range that reflects the quiet holiday tape. Kitco Gold price today at 10:19: the latest spot and
