RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Certified gold bullion produced by state-owned gold miner PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (Antam) strengthened in domestic trading on Saturday, February 14, 2026, after a slide in the previous session, mirroring broader fluctuations in the global gold market.

According to the Logam Mulia website, Antam’s one-gram gold bar was priced at IDR 2,954,000, up IDR 50,000 from Friday’s level of IDR 2,904,000.

Prices for other standard denominations ranged from IDR 1,527,000 for a 0.5-gram bar to IDR 2,894,600,000 for a 1,000-gram bar as of 10 a.m. Jakarta time. The pricing reflects ongoing volatility in both domestic and international markets.

Antam’s gold bars are among the most widely recognised bullion products in Indonesia. Produced by the state-owned mining company, the certified bullion is sold through its Logam Mulia unit in sizes from 0.5 gram to 1,000 grams and often serves both as an investment asset and a store of wealth for individual and institutional buyers.

Gold’s price movements are shaped by broader global supply and demand dynamics. On international markets, spot gold futures traded above USD 5,000 per ounce on Friday after U.S. inflation data came in below expectations, reigniting hopes for potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve later in 2026.

Spot gold climbed about 2.25 percent to USD 5,030.45 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures also registered gains as investors reacted to softer inflation readings.

Despite periodic pullbacks, gold has remained elevated compared with historical price levels. Reuters reported late Friday that bullion prices surged more than 2 percent for the week as weaker-than-expected inflation stoked speculation over future rate reductions.

Asia’s bullion markets have also seen price variation. In India, for example, gold traded at discounted premiums in some centres on Friday, with domestic dealers offering discounts of up to USD 12 per ounce amid subdued jewellery demand. Markets in China, Japan and Singapore displayed mixed premiums and discounts, reflecting differing regional sentiment.

Financial analysts continue to highlight gold’s role as a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. Lower inflation readings in the U.S. tend to make non-yielding assets like gold more attractive relative to riskier investments, and traders often watch upcoming macroeconomic data closely to gauge price direction.

For Indonesian investors and consumers, Antam gold prices provide a local benchmark tied to global trends while subject to domestic tax rules and logistics. Prospective buyers and sellers are advised to monitor price movements and broader market cues, including international trading dynamics, before making transactions. ***
