World gold price this afternoon February 13, 2025

As of 2:00 p.m. on February 13 (Vietnam time), the world gold price listed on Kitco was at 2,915.43 USD/ounce, an increase of 22.61 USD/ounce compared to the beginning of the previous trading session.

World gold prices continue to benefit as investors seek cash flow amid concerns about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, negative impacts from US tariff policies on some partners and trade tensions between the US and China...

In a recent interview with Kitco News, Gary Wagner said that gold prices are now approaching the important psychological level of $3,000 an ounce. "Round numbers like $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000 an ounce are always important psychological levels," Wagner said.

He believes that gold reaching $3,000 an ounce is just a matter of time: 'It's not if, but when. And I think it will happen soon.'

Mr. Daniel Pavilonis - senior analyst at RJO Futures, said that although gold had a small sell-off, due to concerns about inflation and geopolitical situations, people still want to invest in gold.

The most important economic data of the week showed that the US consumer price index (CPI) increased 3.0% year-on-year in January. The CPI is forecast to increase 2.9% year-on-year.

The recovery in global gold prices from the lows of the past two days shows that investors are focused on rising inflation and monetary policy. As a result, optimism remains high as gold continues to act as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Although Powell's remarks and higher-than-expected inflation data have slowed gold's gains, the rapid recovery from the lows of the day shows that investors are still maintaining their position in the precious metal amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
