World gold price today July 17, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 p.m. on July 17, Vietnam time, was 3,330.97 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 9.55 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,320 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 109.14 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 11.08 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices fell slightly due to pressure from the rising USD and the market easing tension after US President Donald Trump announced that the possibility of him firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is very low.

Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.4%, while US gold futures fell 0.6% to $3,340.30.

The dollar index (.DXY) rose 0.4% against a basket of currencies, making dollar-priced gold more expensive for investors using other currencies.

Gold prices fell to $3,340 an ounce as the dollar recovered after the market eased concerns about the Fed Chairman's position, according to Jigar Trivedi, senior commodity analyst at Reliance Securities.

A source told Reuters earlier that Trump was considering firing Powell. However, the US President said yesterday that he had no plans to do so, although he still left the possibility open and continued to criticize the head of the Fed for not cutting interest rates.

New data showed the US producer price index (PPI) was unchanged in June, compared with forecasts for a rise, as the impact of import tariffs on goods was offset by a decline in the services sector. Mr. Trivedi said the stable PPI suggests tariffs may have a smaller impact on the economy than initially feared.

On trade, an EU spokesman said that Maros Sefcovic, the bloc's trade representative, will travel to Washington for tariff talks and meet with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, reported holdings rose 0.33% to 950.79 tonnes from 947.64 tonnes the previous session.

Besides gold prices, silver prices fell slightly by 0.2% to $37.87/ounce, platinum fell by 0.6% to $1,408.85 and palladium lost 1.3% to $1,214.53.

Gold price forecast

According to assessments from major financial corporations, gold is considered one of the safe investment options after the administration of US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on the European Union and many other important trade partners.

Currently, gold prices are being torn between two opposing trends. On the one hand, the demand for safe havens is decreasing due to the positive signs of recovery in the US economy. On the other hand, inflationary pressures remain, raising concerns about global economic stability.

This situation makes it difficult for gold prices to break through the important resistance level of 3,400 USD/ounce in the short term. Experts say that to break this level, the market needs more strong impacts from economic or political factors.

Despite the temporary fluctuations, Canadian bank CIBC maintains its forecast for strong gold prices by the end of the year. According to CIBC experts, the search for safety will continue to be the main factor driving gold prices in the coming period.

CIBC predicts the average price this year will reach about $3,339/ounce, up 19% from its December 2024 forecast.

CIBC also said that although the current price increase has slowed, gold still has the potential to increase again in the second half of the year. Specifically, the bank expects gold prices to reach $3,600/ounce by the end of 2025 and remain stable at this level until 2026.

Ewa Manthey, commodity strategist at ING bank, said that while the long-term outlook for gold remains positive, the market needs new factors to boost prices.

She explained that the inflows into ETFs (gold investment funds) are slowing down, while net purchases in the futures market are also down. However, demand for gold from central banks remains steady, helping to maintain the upward momentum.

According to ING's monthly report, gold prices have slowed down since reaching a record peak above $3,500 an ounce in April. However, since the beginning of the year, gold prices have still increased by about 28%, demonstrating the attractiveness of this precious metal in the context of a volatile market.
