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 ounce, after gaining nearly 3% in the prior session, as traders leaned into U.S. rate-cut bets and weighed turmoil in Venezuela, Reuters reported.

Gold-linked equities rose alongside bullion. Newmont gained about 2.6% and Agnico Eagle added roughly 0.7%, while the SPDR Gold Shares ETF was up around 0.8% in U.S. trading.

Investors next watch the U.S. employment report due Friday, Jan. 9, for the next signal on the Fed path. Gold.com has also set Jan. 27 for a New York Stock Exchange opening-bell event tied to its new listing, a date that could keep attention on integration milestones and any follow-on updates. Bls
