The average price of gold falls slightly this Wednesday, April 15, taking last week’s cost as a reference. Specifically, today it stood at 131.61 euros per gram of 24 carats, which represents a slight decrease of 0.66%, compared to last Wednesday, when it reached 132.48 euros. Therefore, it can be said that the gram of gold in Spain, compared to a week ago, has fallen by about 0.87 euros. A practically imperceptible difference.
These values can be found through the specialized international portal Exchange-Rates and, for the moment, they seem to indicate that the upward trend is resuming in April. During the month of March, the price of gold experienced strong volatility and experienced a downward correction, losing some ground compared to its all-time highs reached in January (which exceeded USD 5,500 per ounce) due to liquidations and the climate of uncertainty driven by the geopolitical conflict between Iran and the United States.
However, so far this month of April, the market has managed to stabilize and resume an upward recovery path, once again consolidating above the barrier of $4,800 per ounce, driven by its reactivation as a safe haven asset in the face of concerns about global stagflation and persistent expectations of interest rate cuts.

The evolution of gold so far in 2026
Gold started 2026 with unprecedented strength, consolidating its undisputed role as the main safe haven asset globally. During the month of January, driven by strong institutional demand and initial fears about global economic stability, it broke all historical barriers to surpass the $5,500 per ounce mark. This rebound reflected the urgency of investors to protect their capital in the face of a macroeconomic outlook that already showed clear signs of fragility and persistent inflation.
However, this spectacular trend suffered a strong setback when March arrived, marking a period of extreme volatility and a sharp downward correction. The intensification of geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States generated a climate of maximum uncertainty that unleashed massive liquidations in the market; Many investors chose to sell their gold positions to cover margins in other markets or simply to lock in the huge profits made at the beginning of the year. This caused gold to lose much of the ground it had gained, abruptly moving away from the highs it reached in winter.
Despite this, the situation has taken a new turn so far in April, showing a much more mature and stabilized market. Gold has resumed its recovery path, consolidating again above $4,800 per ounce. This rebirth is explained by the latent fear of global stagflation and, above all, by the firm expectations of interest rate cuts by the main central banks, which lowers the price of money and once again places gold as the safest option in the medium and long term.
