World gold price today 7/25/2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 7:30 p.m. on July 25, Vietnam time, was 3,358.06 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 24.99 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,310 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 110 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 11.7 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices fell slightly as trade tensions between the US and its partners showed signs of easing, reducing demand for gold as a safe haven. However, a weaker US dollar helped limit the decline in the precious metal.

Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.74% but still increased 0.4% this week. Meanwhile, US gold futures prices also fell 0.2% to $3,365.50.

According to Kelvin Wong, senior market analyst at OANDA, the decline in gold prices was mainly due to profit-taking by speculators following optimism about the possibility of a trade deal. However, he also noted that the weakening US dollar, along with expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the near future, is supporting gold prices to maintain around $3,360.

Trade talks between the US and the European Union (EU) are looking positive. According to EU diplomacy, the two sides could reach an agreement with a 15% tariff on EU goods imported into the US, similar to the agreement the US has signed with Japan.

This optimism also helped the US stock market rise, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting new records. As trade tensions ease, investors tend to move away from gold to riskier assets.

The dollar continued to fall this week, making gold cheaper for investors using other currencies. U.S. economic data showed a surprise drop in the number of people filing for unemployment benefits, but the labor market remained sluggish, making it harder for the unemployed to find work.

Although the Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting in late July, it is likely to cut in September, which continues to support gold prices.

Besides gold prices, silver prices increased by 0.2% to 39.14 USD/ounce, platinum decreased slightly by 0.2% to 1,407.10 USD, and palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,238.73 USD.

Gold Price Forecast

Currently, the domestic gold bar price is always 10-12 million VND/tael higher than the world price, making short-term investment risky. Experts recommend that investors consider more flexible forms such as gold rings or gold accounts on international exchanges instead of buying SJC gold bars, which are greatly affected by domestic policies and scarcity.

Gold prices fell sharply as short-term investors took profits after a period of price increase. Many gold buyers had to sell quickly because they could not bear the pressure of losses. The August gold contract fell $30.6 to $3,366.9 an ounce, while the September silver contract also fell $0.143 to $39.35 an ounce.

While gold prices fell, Asian and European stock markets were on an upward trend. US stock indexes are expected to open flat or slightly higher in the upcoming trading session. This shows that investors are gradually returning to riskier investment channels instead of gold.

According to Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, the US Federal Reserve's greatest strength is its independence in monetary policy. If this is affected, the US dollar and the US bond market could suffer serious consequences. The Fed's ability to intervene in the market by buying government debt depends on global confidence. Losing this confidence would deprive the Fed of its most effective tool for stabilizing the economy.

Thu Lan Nguyen, head of FX and commodities research at Commerzbank, said gold prices are being supported by dovish signals from the Fed. Governor Christopher Waller recently reiterated his view that the Fed should cut interest rates as early as July. He suggested a cut of 125-150 basis points to bring rates to a neutral level of around 3%.

Although gold prices are adjusting downward, experts say this is only a short-term decline and the medium-term upward trend is still maintained. Gold prices in the coming time will depend on US economic data and the Fed's policy decisions.

In the long term, factors such as geopolitical tensions (Middle East, US-China, Russia-Ukraine) continue to be a driving force supporting gold prices. Many large organizations such as Citi and UOB predict that gold prices could approach $3,500-3,600/ounce in 2025 if the Fed cuts interest rates.

Experts advise investors to be cautious, avoid buying when prices are at their peak or selling when prices fall sharply. Instead, if gold prices correct to the $3,330-3,340/ounce range, this could be a good opportunity to buy with a medium-term target.
