Currently, the difference between buying and selling gold prices is around 2.5 million VND/tael. According to experts, this difference is still very high. This means that if investors buy gold and then sell it immediately, it will be difficult to make a profit because the difference between buying and selling is too large, especially when investing for a short time.
Since the beginning of the year, the price of plain gold rings has increased sharply, reaching a peak of about 89 million VND/tael. Although the current price has decreased by 4-5 million VND/tael compared to the peak, compared to the beginning of the year, the price of gold rings is still about 35% higher. Meanwhile, the price of gold bars has also increased, with an increase rate of more than 16% since the beginning of the year.
World gold price this afternoon December 13, 2024
February gold futures fell $21.80 to $2,734.90 an ounce, mainly due to the US producer price index (PPI) report for November showing prices rising faster than expected. Specifically, PPI increased 0.4% compared to the previous month, double the initial prediction of 0.2%.
Although the core PPI (excluding food and energy) rose as expected at 0.2%, the overall annual increase was 3%. This prompted some investors to sell gold and silver to take profits, putting pressure on gold prices.
International factors also affected the market. The Swiss National Bank just cut interest rates by another 0.5 percentage points, almost touching zero.
The European Central Bank also cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points as expected. At the same time, the US dollar rose, with the US Dollar Index reaching 106.750 points on the morning of December 13, causing gold prices to fall more than 1%.
Gold prices remain in an uptrend, but the decline last night was mainly due to investors selling ahead of the US Federal Reserve (FED) meeting next week, said Zain Vawda, market analyst at MarketPulse.
The outcome of the meeting will determine the long-term trend of gold prices. Currently, the market expects with almost certainty (98%) that the FED will cut interest rates in December.
Meanwhile, in China, the stock market has been rising strongly thanks to hopes for economic stimulus packages from the government. In particular, the 5% depreciation of the yuan against the USD since September has also been a factor boosting the market.
Technically, February gold futures investors still hold the upper hand. If prices continue to rise, the next target will be to break through the resistance level of $2,826.30/ounce. Conversely, if prices fall, prices may fall to the support level of $2,650/ounce.
