The "true cost of Christmas" is calculated. The basis for the calculation is the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," which sings about gifts.  The famous index serves as an alternative to the classic consumer price index and shows the price development of certain goods and international markets as well as changes in the world of work. The gifts listed in the song are worth US$51,476.12 this time, representing an increase of 4.5 percent. After two years of price stability for the "five gold rings," the rings increased in price by 32.5 percent.

In addition to gold, the pear tree also contributed to higher costs, as labor, land, and fertilizer have become more expensive. The price is an indicator of rising real estate and land prices in the US. Another item contributing to the overall price increase is the cost of performances and artists ("Ten Lords-a-Leaping"). Overall, the Christmas index shows how global economic uncertainties and a tight labor market are driving prices up. The fact that Christmas will be particularly expensive this year reflects the current economic situation.

The US dollar has fallen, the Fed has cut interest rates, and inflation is still there. No wonder investors have been particularly keen to invest in precious metals this year. All eyes are already on 2026. The US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy and the general economic situation will reveal all. As uncertainties remain, the safe haven of gold should continue to be sought after by investors and central banks in 2026, and gold ETFs should see inflows. Gold companies on solid footing are enjoying high gold prices and the price gains of their mineral resources.
