Gold prices are shining again. Gold and silver prices have rebounded.\nGold prices rose as tariffs and geopolitical risks drove demand for\nsafe-haven assets.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday (February 25, 2026), the global gold price rose 0.44% to\nUS$5,170.63 per troy ounce. Gold strengthened again after a decline that\nbroke the four-day winning streak.<\/p>\n
On Thursday (February 26, 2026) until 06.52 WIB, the global gold\nprice in the spot market weakened 0.07% to US$5,168.59 per troy\nounce.<\/p>\n
Gold prices rose on Wednesday as investors turned to safe assets amid\nconcerns that tariffs could trigger inflation, while ongoing tensions\nbetween Iran and the United States also maintained safe-haven\ndemand.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is an inflationary impact from tariffs and high oil prices,\nespecially if an attack is imminent, and I think there are also some\nhedges by investors, who may be turning to gold,\u201d said Bart Melek, head\nof global commodity strategy at TD Securities, to Reuters.<\/p>\n
The US began imposing temporary global import tariffs of 10% on\nTuesday, but a White House official said the Trump administration was\nworking to raise it to 15%.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump, in his State of the Union address, said that\n\u201calmost all\u201d countries and companies want to maintain existing tariff\nand investment agreements with Washington.<\/p>\n
Trump also explained his reasons for a possible attack on Iran,\nsaying that he would not allow the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of\nterrorism to have nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Iran and the US are\nscheduled to hold a third round of nuclear talks on Thursday in\nGeneva.<\/p>\n
Gold is widely regarded as a safe-haven asset during times of\nuncertainty. Although this non-yielding asset has increased in a\nlow-interest rate environment, gold is also seen as a hedge against\ninflation.<\/p>\n
Gold reached a record high of US$5,594.82 on January 29, 2026, and\nhas risen about 20% so far this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestors have slowed the pace of increasing their exposure to gold.\nTherefore, we are accounting for a period of potential gold price\ndecline until spring, although the re-emergence of tariff uncertainty\ncould make this period of consolidation relatively short,\u201d according to\na Bank of America note, adding that they expect prices to reach US$6,000\nper ounce in the next 12 months.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/gold-prices-surge-again-forecasts-predict-us-6-000-mark-1772070455", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
