Gold Prices Soar to 24,000 Yen Amid Geopolitical Tensions

As of December 1, 2025, the gold market opened at 23,131 yen per gram, responding to various economic signals. The Federal Reserve (FRB) had enacted a further interest rate cut at the end of November, introducing volatility in gold prices that persisted until mid-December. The price briefly dipped below 23,000 yen, but by December 8, it rebounded impressively and reached 23,614 yen by December 15. This shift in prices gained momentum due to U.S. President Trump's decision to label the Venezuelan government as a foreign terrorist organization, bolstering geopolitical risk awareness among investors. By December 22, Trump's mention of potential military action in Venezuela drove significant demand for gold, resulting in prices breaching the 24,000 yen mark. The year’s final trading day, December 25, saw gold closing at 24,571 yen per gram, setting a thrilling stage for further growth as analysts forecast a possible rise to 25,000 yen by year’s end.
