Currently, gold prices are falling sharply. However, Mr. Tran Duy Phuong, a gold expert, believes that this is only a temporary decrease. He predicts that from now until the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, gold prices may increase again.
However, Mr. Phan Dung Khanh, a financial expert, advises those who intend to invest in gold to make quick profits to be very careful. After a year of strong gold price increases, the possibility of prices continuing to increase is not high. Mr. Khanh suggests that buying gold should only be done with a long-term vision. You should use idle money to invest and only spend 20-30% of your assets to buy gold.
World gold price this afternoon December 14, 2024
In the past two trading sessions, the world gold price dropped a total of 70 USD, down to below 2,650 USD/ounce. At the end of the session on December 13, the spot gold price dropped 33 USD, to 2,647 USD/ounce.
The main reason for the fall in gold prices was that many investors decided to take profits after prices reached a 5-week high in the previous session. In addition, the US dollar holding steady around a 2-week high also created great pressure, causing gold prices to go down.
Currently, the gold market is facing a correction after a series of strong increases, but this is considered short-term and does not change the long-term trend.
The world gold price is on a downward trend as many investors decide to sell to take profits after the price increased. The world's largest gold investment fund - SPDR Gold Trust - sold more than 8 tons of gold this week, bringing the amount of gold owned by the fund down to 863.9 tons.
At the same time, investors are also being cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting next week, as this is an event that could greatly affect gold prices in the short term.
According to experts at OANDA, although the short-term gold price uptrend remains, prices may decline slightly due to profit-taking pressure from investors ahead of the Fed's policy meeting.
A report from the World Gold Council (WGC) shows that in 2025, the gold market may face many challenges due to investor concerns. One of the main reasons is the uncertainty in the economic policies of President-elect Donald Trump.
The tariffs that Mr. Trump intends to impose to support domestic production could cause global trade tensions. If inflation rises higher, the Federal Reserve may have to reconsider its plans to cut interest rates, slowing the growth momentum of gold prices.
Central banks have been buying gold consistently for the past 15 years, viewing it as a safe haven asset. In 2024, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) bought 27 tonnes of gold in October alone, bringing its total reserves to 882 tonnes. Other central banks, such as Türkiye and Poland, have also bought tens of tonnes of gold, contributing to the high gold price.
Gold prices are expected to fluctuate between $2,600 and $2,800 an ounce in 2025, depending on the Fed’s interest rate policy and the global economic situation. Investors should be cautious, especially as gold prices are unlikely to rise as sharply as last year, but are still a good choice for risky situations.
