Gold prices in Indonesia reached a historic high, with Galeri 24 gold bars traded at Rp 2,692,000 per gram (14/01).

The surge reflects strong retail demand and the influence of global market volatility, making gold a preferred asset for investors and households.

Domestic Gold Prices Show Significant Increases

Global Geopolitical Tensions Drive Safe-Haven Demand

Investor interest in gold has surged due to ongoing geopolitical tensions. The Russia-Ukraine conflict remains unresolved, and recent developments involving the United States and Venezuela have added global uncertainty. Historically, gold is perceived as a safe-haven asset during periods of market instability, prompting increased retail and institutional demand.

Central Banks’ Gold Reserves Contribute to Price Increases

Throughout 2025, central banks worldwide actively increased gold holdings to strengthen reserves amid uncertain economic conditions. Diversifying reserves from foreign currencies into gold provides a hedge against currency fluctuations. Rising institutional demand from central banks has added upward pressure on gold prices in global markets, which translates to domestic retail prices.

Market Outlook Amid Early 2026 Volatility

The early 2026 gold market demonstrates high sensitivity to global developments. Geopolitical tensions, central bank policies, and investor sentiment continue to shape price movements. With domestic gold prices at record highs, market participants remain attentive to global and local economic indicators that may influence future trends.
