World gold price this afternoon January 14, 2025
At 8:33 a.m. today (January 14, Vietnam time), the world spot gold price was at 2,668 USD/ounce, up 0.9 USD/ounce compared to last night. The price of gold futures for February 2025 on the Comex New York floor was at 2,686 USD/ounce.
On the morning of January 14, the world gold price converted to USD bank price was at more than 83 million VND/tael, including tax and fees, about 3.4 million VND/tael lower than the domestic gold price.
World gold prices fell sharply due to increased profit-taking demand in the market after prices increased continuously in recent sessions. In addition, the USD also increased sharply. The DXY index reached 109.9 points, the highest in 2 years.
However, according to analysts, in the last sessions of the week, the gold price continuously approached the level of 2,700 USD/ounce, showing positive signals for the precious metal in the future, despite the great resistance of the recovering USD and rising US Treasury bond yields.
It can be seen that, in the context of many factors against gold, gold is supported by the hedge tool of inflation, financial market volatility, economic and geopolitical tensions.
The latest survey results from WisdomTree, an American asset management group, show that the main purpose of using gold in investors' portfolios is "diversification" to spread risks, helping to minimize potential risks in other investments.
Nitesh Shah, head of commodity and macroeconomic research at WisdomTree Europe, said gold is a great portfolio diversifier as it allows investors to improve returns while effectively controlling risk.
Shah analyzed that professional investors are right to see gold as a hedge against inflation, financial market volatility, economic stress and geopolitical instability.
While some of these risks may not be top of mind for investors right now, he said it is still important to hedge against potential escalation.
