Daily brief · Thursday, September 25, 2025

Gold eased while silver and PGMs rose as U.S. data firmed and policy signals stayed mixed

Gold finished lower even as some early-day safe-haven support showed up, with several reports pointing to a firmer dollar and stronger U.S. data weighing on prices. Silver and the platinum-group metals closed higher, helped by tighter-supply narratives in silver and generally stronger momentum across metals in recent weeks.

Metal by metal

Gold $3,730.75 −0.82%

Gold trading was framed as headline-driven around U.S. macro data and Fed communication. Kitco and other reports highlighted that a stronger GDP print and lower jobless claims pressured gold, while Reuters noted periods of safe-haven demand; Reuters also pointed to weaker China net gold imports via Hong Kong in August.
