World gold price this afternoon August 14, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:00 p.m. on August 14, Vietnam time, was 3,349.52 USD/ounce. This afternoon's gold price decreased by 4.42 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,460 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 106.87 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 17.83 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices continued to increase for the third consecutive session thanks to expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates in September after low inflation data. This also weakened the USD, further supporting gold prices.

Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.13%, while US gold futures for December delivery fell 0.1% to $3,406.80.

"The market is pricing in a 50 basis point rate cut by the Fed in September. This has resulted in a weaker dollar, which has pushed gold higher and bond yields lower," said Kyle Rodda, financial markets analyst at Capital.com. "Technically, gold is in an uptrend. The market just needs to sustainably break above $3,400 to consolidate the rally."

The dollar is now at a multi-week low against other currencies, making gold cheaper for foreign investors. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note is also at a one-week low.

Data showed U.S. inflation rose only slightly in July, bolstering expectations that the Fed will cut interest rates next month. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent even said the central bank could cut rates by as much as 50 basis points.

Traders see a Fed rate cut on September 17 as a near certainty, with a 6% chance of a 50 basis point cut, according to LSEG. Gold typically benefits in a low-interest-rate environment because it does not yield as much as other assets.

Investors are watching key economic data due out this week, including the producer price index (PPI), weekly jobless claims and retail sales, to gauge the Fed's next move.

On the geopolitical front, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy revealed that he warned US President Donald Trump that Russian leader Vladimir Putin was “deceiving” him about his intention to end the war. Geopolitical tensions often drive investors to gold as a safe haven.

Besides gold, spot silver prices remained stable at $38.49 an ounce, while platinum fell slightly by 0.3% to $1,336. In contrast, palladium rose by 1.2% to $1,135.93.

Gold Price Forecast

Gold prices are currently finding strong support above $3,300 an ounce. According to ING analysis, it is only a matter of time before gold prices break out of their current sideways phase and retest record highs.

In her latest monthly report, Ewa Manthey, commodity strategist at ING, revised her forecast for gold prices higher due to signs of weakness in the US labor market and persistent inflationary pressures. She now expects gold prices to average $3,400 an ounce in the third quarter and $3,450 in the fourth quarter, up from her previous forecast of $3,200 for both quarters.

Ms. Manthey expects gold prices to surpass $3,500 in the first quarter of 2025, 9% higher than her previous estimate. In 2026, the average price is expected to reach $3,512 per ounce, up sharply from $3,175 in the previous forecast. This upward revision comes from expectations that the Fed will cut interest rates aggressively in the second half of 2025.

"With expectations of US interest rate cuts rising, gold could be poised to set a new record high. Our economics team predicts three cuts this year and two more by early 2026, which is stronger than the general market expectation," said Ms. Manthey.

According to CME’s FedWatch tool, markets are now pricing in a 90% chance of a Fed rate cut next month and a 50% chance of three cuts by year-end. Concerns about the Fed’s independence could continue to support demand for safe-haven assets like gold, Manthey said.

"Governor Adriana Kugler's resignation... could give President Trump an opportunity to appoint someone more in line with his rate-cutting agenda. Of course, he doesn't like Chairman Powell, and Powell's term ends next May. All of this is raising concerns about the Fed's independence, while continuing to push gold prices higher," she analyzed.

Ms. Manthey also pointed to strong buying from central banks along with growing investor interest. “We believe that central banks will continue to add to their gold reserves amid the uncertain economic environment and the trend of diversifying away from the US dollar,” she stressed.

She also noted that investment demand for gold ETFs in the first half of the year grew at the fastest pace since early 2020, although total holdings are still about 300 tonnes below the record level five years ago.

“Central banks are still buying, Trump’s trade war continues, geopolitical risks are high, and ETF holdings continue to expand, all supporting gold at current levels. A Fed rate cut could be the final catalyst to spark a new record-breaking rally,” Manthey concluded.
