Gold price today, Thursday, August 14, 2025: Gold opens above $3,400 after new highs in stocks
Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,407.20 per ounce on Thursday, up 1.4% from Wednesday's close of $3,358.70. So far this week, the price of gold has ranged from a low of $3,330.10 to a high of $3,423.80. Investors will be watching the initial jobless claims report and the producer price index (PPI) on Thursday for any signs of economic strain. Jobless claims for the week of August 9 are expected to be 229,000, up slightly from the prior week's tally of 226,000. PPI, which measures inflation on wholesale prices, is expected to be up 0.2% for July after being flat in June. Although gold remains resilient, investors are also bullish on stocks – the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite both hit record highs on Wednesday. Any signs of economic deterioration could slow momentum in stocks and increase demand for gold. Current price of gold The opening price of gold futures on Thursday is up 1.4% from Wednesday's close of $3,358.70 per ounce. Thursday's opening price marks a gain of 0.7% over the opening price of $3,384.90 one week ago on August 7.

Consider your investment timeline. After deciding why you want to invest in gold and selecting the size and form of your gold investment, consider your investment timeline as a final suitability check. Gold can be volatile. It has demonstrated extended periods of decline in the past. Extended periods of decline are not acceptable if your timeline is short. The risk is too great that gold's price will be down when you need to liquidate. An extended holding period provides greater potential for reaching your investment goals. As an example, hedging against stock market declines or inflation is a long-term effort. These outcomes will continue to be risks as long as you own stocks or cash deposits. Holding gold as insurance against an economic calamity requires you to keep the asset until you need it.

Gold price today, Friday, August 8, 2025: Gold opens at a new record high after tariffs take effect
Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,487.90 per ounce Friday, up 2.6% from Thursday's close of $3,400.30. The opening price is a new record high for the precious metal. The strength in gold follows the implementation of many of President Trump's reciprocal tariffs early Friday morning, including surprise levies on 1kg and 100oz imported gold bars. The import charges on gold bars could disrupt shipments from primary refining hubs, including Switzerland, London, and Hong Kong. Trump has also threatened higher levies on China because it buys oil from Russia. The president recently doubled India's tariff for the same reason.

The effect is more severe now that the tariffs are directly impacting gold bar imports.

Gold price today, Thursday, August 7, 2025: Gold reaches new high as trade tensions escalate
Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,431.80 per ounce Thursday, up 1.5% from Wednesday's close of $3,380. In early trading, the price of gold rose to a new all-time high of $3,470.30. Market uncertainty prompted by President Trump's expanding tariff program is contributing to gold's recent strength. This week, Trump threatened a tariff of approximately 100% on imported semiconductors with exemptions for companies that commit to manufacturing in the U.S. The president also doubled India's tariff to 50%, effective later this month. The increase followed India's refusal to stop importing oil from Russia. The U.S. imported $87.3 billion of goods from India in 2024. Since the highest tariffs have only gone into effect this week, their impact on U.S. prices and consumer spending is largely unknown. The uncertainty makes gold more attractive as a safe-haven asset.

Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,313.40 per ounce Tuesday, up 0.1% from Monday's close of $3,309.10. Tuesday's starting price represents gold's lowest open since July 9. Investors seem largely focused on the opportunity in stocks. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) reached new highs Monday after the U.S. confirmed a trade deal with the EU. Key reports due this week may fuel — or temper — the bullish sentiment on stocks. The Fed meets on interest rates Wednesday, and June's personal spending report and PCE index, an inflation measure, prints on Thursday. Four Magnificent Seven stocks also report earnings this week: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta. Demand for gold can moderate when stock prices rise, since many investors will move to take advantage of the gains. Current price of gold The opening price of gold futures on Tuesday is up 0.1% from Monday's close of $3,309.10 per ounce. Tuesday's opening price marks a decline of 2.9% over the past week, compared to the opening price of $3,411 on July 22.

Consider your investment timeline. Today, we're delving deeper into step 2, setting the appropriate gold allocation. After determining your investment goals for buying gold in the first place, next comes understanding how much to buy. Learn more: How to invest in gold in four steps Allocation is the composition of your portfolio across different types of assets, such as stocks, bonds, and gold. Setting a target allocation for each asset type helps you control risk over the long term because asset values change over time. Stocks appreciate, for example. Unless you periodically rebalance your holdings to restore the target allocation, the appreciation can leave you over-concentrated in equities. Scott Travers, author of 'The Coin Collector's Survival Manual' and editor of COINage magazine recommends holding 5% to 15% of your net worth in gold. Other experts advise going as high as 20% if you are risk-tolerant. A review of gold's historic behavior in light of your risk appetite should help you identify the right allocation percentage. Yahoo Finance video: Safe-haven assets: Breaking down what you need to know Count your jewelry Remember, too, that your target allocation includes the value of the gold you already own. Travers recommends checking your jewelry box before buying more gold. Given gold's sharp rise in value over the past 12 months and more, your gold jewelry may be worth more than you think. Travers warns against selling your jewelry to buy gold coins because you will pay dealer fees on both transactions.
