gold prices

Gold prices ‍continued their upward ⁢trajectory, marking‌ an eighth consecutive week of gains as of⁤ October 12, 2025, fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions and shifting ​expectations regarding U.S. monetary policy. The ⁣precious metal ⁣is poised to possibly⁤ reach new historical highs, bolstered by factors including​ trade disputes and political instability.

The rally gained momentum after U.S. President Donald Trump⁣ announced on Friday that a ⁤planned ⁢meeting with ⁢Chinese President ​Xi Jinping following events in South Korea was off the table, alongside consideration of considerable increases⁢ to tariffs on Chinese imports. This news triggered a sell-off in ​U.S. stock markets, with the S&P 500 closing⁤ down 2.7%​ and the Nasdaq falling ‍3.6% at‍ the week’s end. investors ​are simultaneously monitoring potential‌ government collapses ‌in France, geopolitical risks in Japan,⁤ and the ongoing U.S. ‌government‍ shutdown-all contributing to⁤ gold’s safe-haven appeal.

Analysts anticipate further⁣ gains, projecting a potential‍ surge in gold‍ prices over the next two years, ​despite acknowledging the‍ possibility of short-term corrections ​given ​the recent‌ rapid ascent.​ Investors are also factoring in expectations that the ​U.S. Federal⁣ Reserve ‍will implement 25-basis-point interest rate cuts in both October⁢ and December, following an initial rate reduction earlier⁢ in the year.

Current forecasts suggest a favorable outlook for 21-karat gold, with some ⁤estimates indicating a potential rise to 4500 dollars per ounce.The confluence of these factors-trade uncertainty, political risks, and anticipated monetary easing-is driving demand‍ and supporting gold’s‌ sustained climb.

Gold Prices Surge in Egypt Following Trump Trade War Announcement

Cairo,Egypt – october 12,2025 – Gold prices in Egypt⁣ experienced a meaningful increase today,driven by escalating trade ​tensions between the United States ⁣and China and broader global economic uncertainty. Goldsmiths report heightened demand as investors seek safe-haven assets amid market volatility.

The price jump follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on Friday that he sees no benefit in resuming planned talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This⁣ declaration triggered a sell-off in U.S. stock markets,with the S&P 500 closing down 2.7% and the Nasdaq⁤ falling 3.6% at the week’s end. The renewed threat of a trade war is weakening the U.S.dollar⁣ – which fell 0.6% yesterday – and bolstering gold’s value, traditionally moving inversely to the dollar.

Current gold prices in Egypt, as of today, Sunday, October 12, ⁤2025, are as follows:⁢ 24 karat gold is trading at 6166 Egyptian pounds, 21 karat gold at 5395 pounds, and⁣ 18 karat gold at 4624 pounds. The gold pound is valued at 43,160 pounds.

Beyond​ the U.S.-China trade dispute, market analysts point⁤ to additional factors ​supporting ⁣gold’s rally. These include geopolitical tensions in Japan, the ongoing U.S.‍ government shutdown, and ⁤concerns surrounding the potential collapse of the French government. Investors⁣ are​ also anticipating further interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, with expectations of 25 basis point reductions in both October and December, following a⁢ previous cut earlier this year.

While short-term price corrections are possible ⁢given the recent rapid increase, experts predict a substantial rise in gold prices over the next two years. This outlook reinforces gold’s position as a key investment‌ during periods of global economic instability.
