World gold price today April 11, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 am today, Vietnam time, was 3,215.47 USD/ounce. Today's gold price increased by 111 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (25,880 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 101.38 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 3.82 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

The world gold price has risen above the important threshold of 3,200 USD/ounce for the first time. The main reason is the weakening USD and economic concerns due to the escalating trade war. It reached a record high of 3,219.84 USD in the trading session. This week alone, the gold price has increased by more than 5%. Meanwhile, the price of gold futures in the US also increased by nearly 2%, to 3,233.8 USD.

According to Alexander Zumpfe, precious metals trader at Heraeus Metals (Germany), gold is benefiting from many factors: the risk of recession is increasing, bond yields are rising sharply and the US dollar continues to depreciate. All of these make gold a tool to hedge against risks and protect against inflation.

US President Donald Trump abruptly suspended tariffs on several countries just hours after they were due to take effect. However, he increased tariffs on Chinese imports in retaliation for similar moves by Beijing. But the decision did little to ease business concerns about the negative impact of the trade war and the US administration’s inconsistent enforcement.

The dollar index fell to a decade low, making gold, which is priced in the greenback, cheaper for foreign investors. Gold prices have been on a tear since last year, hitting new records and rising nearly 21% so far this year, driven by economic uncertainty, strong demand from central banks and flows into gold exchange-traded funds.

"We believe that gold prices still have room to grow. In an optimistic scenario, the target could reach $3,400 - $3,500/ounce in the coming months," said Giovanni Staunovo, an analyst at UBS.

Data released Thursday showed U.S. consumer prices unexpectedly fell in March. Markets are awaiting producer price index (PPI) data for further clues on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Many investors now expect the Fed to start cutting interest rates in June and could cut them by a total of 1 percentage point by the end of 2025.

Besides gold, silver prices rose slightly by 0.4% to $31.31 an ounce, while platinum rose by 0.7% to $944.35. Palladium also rose sharply by 1.9% to $925.43.

Gold Price Forecast

More and more traders believe the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in May, with the probability reaching 55%, according to the FedWatch tracker.

If this happens, it would create favorable conditions for gold prices to rise further, as low interest rates typically make the precious metal more attractive relative to other yielding assets.

Gold is being viewed as a hedge against uncertainty, especially as tariff tensions could add to inflationary pressures and push bond yields higher, said TD Securities expert Bart Melek.

He also warned that if the trade war drags on, the US dollar could gradually lose its central role in the global trading system, which would further strengthen gold's position.

Nikos Tzabouras, senior market analyst at Tradu.com, said that gold is regaining its image as a safe haven amid volatile markets. He said that the upward trend is still strong and does not rule out the possibility that gold will set new price peaks in the near future.

However, Tzabouras also noted that if the US reaches trade agreements with its partners, the appeal of gold could decline. Additionally, if the Fed cuts interest rates but the US dollar recovers strongly, this could put pressure on gold prices again.

WisdomTree commodity strategist Nitesh Shah stressed that the world is entering a period of uncertainty with unpredictable developments in the trade war.

He predicts that gold prices could continue to rise and reach $3,600 an ounce within the next year. In a worse case scenario, if risks continue to increase, gold prices could reach $4,000 an ounce.
