On December 15, 2025 precious metals markets showed strength with gold extending earlier gains as investors sought safe haven positions ahead of critical U.S. economic data, including the delayed non-farm payrolls report and the consumer price index reading. The rally was supported by a softer U.S. dollar and easing Treasury yields, which together made gold more attractive as a hedge against macro uncertainty. Analysts noted that the combination of central bank easing expectations and the risk of disappointing U.S. labor and inflation data pushed traders toward assets with defensive characteristics. The move in gold markets reflects broader macro positioning ahead of fundamental data releases that will shape interest rate expectations in early 2026. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
