This is your Daily Gold Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Welcome to the Daily Gold Price Tracker, with me, Vanessa Clark. Happy to have you with us for today’s episode—it’s been another dramatic week for the gold market, and there’s plenty to unpack. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just curious about what drives the price of gold, we’ll walk through the latest moves, what’s behind them, and what it could mean for your wallet.
So, let’s get straight to the numbers. As of October 17, 2025, the price of gold has been on a wild ride. Earlier this week, gold hit a stunning all-time high of $4,379.60 per ounce—a level we’ve never seen before. But by Friday afternoon, things pulled back a bit, with gold currently trading around $4,240 to $4,240.84 per ounce, according to Trading Economics. That’s a drop of about 2 percent from the previous day. In the early hours of the morning, some sources had gold peaking above $4,300, so this is quite a rollercoaster of a day. Still, zooming out, gold is up more than 16 percent over the past month and more than 55 percent compared to this time last year—so, overall, it’s been a massive rally for the shiny metal.
Now, let’s talk about why gold has been so hot—literally and figuratively. Much of this surge has been fueled by the classic factors that make gold a safe haven: uncertainty, especially around US-China trade tensions, which have been running high lately. Just this week, there was a lot of concern that the US might slap a 100 percent tariff on Chinese goods—a move that would really shake up global markets. But, President Trump signaled that might not come to pass, easing tensions somewhat and cooling off the rally a bit. Still, he did blame Beijing for the latest standoff, specifically over rare earth mineral exports. That’s the kind of geopolitical drama that tends to send investors running to gold.
Adding to the mix, there’s the ongoing US government shutdown, which is making a lot of people nervous, as is some recent wobbliness in the US regional banking sector. On top of that, everyone is waiting for the next move from the Federal Reserve—there’s widespread expectation that the Fed will cut interest rates by a quarter point later this month, with another possible cut in December. Lower rates usually mean gold gets more attractive, since it doesn’t offer any yield, so when other assets pay less, gold becomes more appealing by comparison.
The rally has also been supercharged by strong demand from central banks and inflows into gold exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, as investors look for ways to protect their portfolios in a choppy environment. And let’s not forget about physical demand, especially from places like India, where gold imports in September surged by 110 percent compared to last year, thanks in part to the festive season heating up demand for jewelry and gifts.
So what does this all mean for you? Well, if you’re thinking about jumping into gold as an investment, it’s worth remembering that while gold has had a phenomenal run, it doesn’t always go straight up—momentum can swing both ways, and Friday’s pullback is a reminder of just how volatile it can be. Some analysts are still bullish, with RoboForex eyeing a potential move toward $4,440 per ounce if buying pressure stays strong. But others caution that after such a sharp rise, there could always be a period of consolidation or even a correction.
Here’s a practical tip: if you’re considering adding gold to your portfolio, think about dollar-cost averaging—that means buying a little at a time, not all at once, so you’re not caught out by a sudden dip. And if you don’t want to deal with storing physical bullion, a gold IRA or an ETF could be a simpler way to get exposure.
