Jakarta, Pintu News – Entering mid-February 2026, precious metal prices in Indonesia have shown a consistent strengthening trend in line with the volatile global economic dynamics. The price of gold with 99% content or often known as 24 karat gold is observed to have increased in various gold boutiques and authorized outlets. For investors, this moment of increase is an important signal to monitor the value of their hedge assets amid dynamic market fluctuations.
The price of 99.9% gold bullion produced by PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (Antam) on Thursday, February 19, 2026, recorded an increase of IDR 4,000 to IDR 2,916,000 per gram. If you make an official purchase, the base price will be added with PPh 22 tax of 0.25%, bringing the total price to IDR 2,923,290 per gram. This increase follows the trend of world gold prices that continue to creep up due to monetary uncertainty in the international market.
In addition to the price per gram, the buyback price of Antam gold also increased by IDR 5,000 to IDR 2,694,000 per gram. The difference or spread between the purchase price and the selling price needs to be considered by investors to calculate potential long-term investment returns. It is important to remember that every gold bullion transaction at authorized Antam outlets always includes a certificate of authenticity and proof of a legally valid transaction.

For those of you who prefer to invest through other retail channels, the price of 99 grade gold at Pegadaian (Galeri24) today is priced at IDR 2,946,000 per gram. Meanwhile, for UBS brand gold products, the price is slightly higher at IDR 2,965,000 per gram. This price difference between brands is normal due to differences in printing and distribution costs at each service provider.
On the other hand, the price of 24-karat gold jewelry (99 gold) in general gold shops is observed to be in the range of IDR 2,720,000 per gram in several regions. For digital platforms such as Laku Emas, the price of 24K gold was recorded at IDR 2,512,000 per gram today. Price variations in traditional markets and digital platforms provide flexible options for people according to their investment goals, both in the form of bars and jewelry.

In the modern financial ecosystem, gold remains a favorite asset alongside digital currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum . While crypto instruments offer high potential returns, 99-grade gold provides real physical value stability as a reserve fund. Many investors now employ a diversification strategy by proportionally dividing their capital into cryptocurrency and precious metal assets.
The combination of digital assets and 24-karat gold bullion can mitigate the risk of deep losses when financial markets are experiencing severe turmoil. When the value of cryptocurrencies is volatile, today’s rising gold prices can serve as a counterweight to the value of your overall wealth portfolio. Hence, having a 99% pure gold reserve remains a highly relevant and prudent financial decision for your family’s future.
The increase in gold prices today was strongly influenced by the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar, which is now in the range of IDR 16,937. In addition to the exchange rate factor, the high global demand for gold as a safe haven asset also helped hoist prices in the Indonesian domestic market. Inflationary conditions that have not yet fully stabilized make investors prefer to convert their cash into gold bars that are more resistant to falling currency values.
External factors such as geopolitical tensions and the US central bank’s interest rate policy also play a crucial role in determining the future direction of gold prices. Whenever there is a negative sentiment in the global stock market, the price of 99-grade gold tends to react positively with a significant price increase. Understanding these economic cycles will help you determine when is the right time to buy or sell your gold collection.
For beginners, it is highly recommended to buy 99 grade gold in a place that provides a clear and transparent buyback guarantee. Pay attention to the difference between today’s selling and buying prices so that you are not surprised when you want to cash out your investment in the near future. Store your gold in a safe, dry place to keep the physical condition of the precious metal in tip-top shape and prevent discoloration.
You can also utilize digital gold investment applications to make regular purchases starting from a small nominal each month. This strategy of saving gold gradually is very effective to get a competitive average price in the midst of daily price fluctuations that occur quite often. With discipline and patience, investing in 99 grade gold will become a solid financial pillar for your better future plans.
