World gold prices rose sharply as the US dollar weakened after US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods officially took effect. Many investors rushed to buy gold as a safe haven asset amid concerns about recession and global trade tensions.

US gold futures rose 2.2% to $3,056.60. The weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for foreign investors.

Mr Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 104% in response to Beijing's sanctions, accusing China of manipulating its currency to reduce the impact of the tariffs. China has refused to budge, calling the move "bullying" and vowing to "fight to the end". The new tariffs officially took effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time (4:01 GMT) as planned.

However, gold's gains were somewhat limited as the yield on 10-year US government bonds hit its highest level in more than a month.

According to the World Gold Council, ETFs (gold-backed exchange-traded funds) recorded the largest inflows in three years in the first quarter of 2025. Central banks around the world are expected to continue buying gold. The goal is to diversify foreign exchange reserves and reduce dependence on the US dollar, especially in the context of economic policies from the Trump administration that pose many risks.

"The Fed is likely to maintain its stance, continuing to cautiously monitor inflation risks rather than growth risks," said Kelvin Wong, Asia-Pacific market analyst at OANDA.

Besides gold, silver prices increased 1.3% to 30.23 USD/ounce, while platinum prices remained at 921.62 USD. Palladium also increased slightly by 0.9% to 914.73 USD.

Gold price forecast

The world gold price is expected to fluctuate strongly due to the influence of many economic and geopolitical factors. However, the price trend may change depending on the development of the trade war between the US and other countries, especially China.

The retaliatory tariffs between countries are increasing concerns in the market. Besides, the market is also waiting for important economic data from the US, such as the FOMC meeting minutes, CPI and PPI index. This information will directly affect interest rate expectations, thereby strongly affecting gold prices.

If inflation figures remain high or the Fed signals caution in cutting interest rates, gold could fall below $3,000 an ounce. Conversely, if inflation cools or the Fed leans toward looser monetary policy, gold could rally and head toward $3,100 an ounce.

In addition, the decline in other markets such as stocks, cryptocurrencies and oil could also put pressure on gold to correct. Many experts predict that gold prices will fluctuate in the range of 2,960–3,100 USD/ounce in the short term. However, profit-taking activities from large investment funds could also cause unexpected price drops.

Standard Chartered Bank expert Suki Cooper recently raised her forecast for the average gold price in the second quarter of 2025 to $3,300 an ounce, instead of $2,900 as before. She said the gold market is being supported by the weakening of the US dollar due to concerns about trade tensions.

Bank of America strategist Michael Widmer recently raised his gold price forecast to $3,063 in 2025 and $3,350 in 2026. He even believes gold could hit $3,500 within the next two years. However, he admits that $3,500 is a challenging target, as the conditions for gold to maintain its current strong rally require a lot of prolonged uncertainty.

Although gold has stalled at times, the overall trend is still toward new record highs, thanks to uncertainty over the global economy and inflation, according to KCM Trade expert Tim Waterer. However, he also noted that gold's rally is being somewhat restrained by the yield on the 10-year US government bond, which is at its highest level in more than a month.
