Today, February 17, 2026, the spot price of gold at 9:00 AM ET is $4,888.20 per ounce. This represents a 2.56% decrease from yesterday's price of $5,016.60. For investors tracking various denominations, the price stands at $157.16 per gram and $157,159.20 per kilogram. The sharp decline is largely attributed to the start of the Lunar New Year holiday in China, which has temporarily dampened physical demand in one of the world's largest gold-buying markets, leading to institutional profit-taking.
