World gold price this afternoon January 21, 2025
As of 12 noon on January 20 (Vietnam time), the world gold price increased by 21.4 USD compared to the previous session to 2,723.4 USD/ounce.
Gold prices on the international market skyrocketed amid a sharp decline in the US dollar. The US dollar index on the international market fell to nearly 108 points.
On the other hand, gold received buying pressure due to increased risk aversion after US President Donald Trump officially declared his inauguration early this morning (Vietnam time). The new president's policies, signed immediately after his inauguration, will affect the direction of gold in the coming time.
Analysts say President Donald Trump's term will make the gold market more volatile because some of his policies could lead to increased inflation, making gold an attractive trading channel in the short term.
However, Mr Trump’s inflationary tariff policies could force the US Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates for a longer period. A shortened easing cycle by the Fed could support the US dollar and create some volatility in the precious metals market, reducing the attractiveness of gold.
Mr Trump has talked about high tariffs on imports. However, according to Goldman Sachs, gold is likely to be widely exempt from tariffs. The bank only forecasts a 10% chance of a 10% tariff on gold in the next 12 months.
