Gold prices have fallen further in the global market, how much is it in the country?

Gold prices have fallen further in the global market. The price of this precious metal is somewhat under control due to the strong US dollar. Apart from this, investors are also eyeing the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) to be published today (January 9).

At 11:36 am Bangladesh time on Friday, the price of gold in the spot market fell by 0.2 percent to $4,469.03 per ounce. Earlier, on December 26, the price of gold reached a record high of $4,549.71.

Meanwhile, US gold futures for February delivery rose by 0.4 percent to $4,477.70 per ounce.

“Gold prices have seen some profit-taking over the past three days, but the main driver for the market right now is the strong US dollar ahead of the NFP data,” said market analyst Ross Norman.

HSBC said gold prices could reach $5,000 an ounce in the first half of 2026 as geopolitical risks and debt levels rise. Interest-free assets generally perform well in low-interest rate environments and times of economic uncertainty.

Meanwhile, spot silver fell 0.1 percent to $76.83 an ounce. Silver had hit a record high of $83.62 on December 29. Spot platinum fell 0.8 percent to $2,250.30 an ounce, after hitting a record high of $2,478.50 on Monday.
