World gold prices this afternoon, August 25, 2025, and a chart showing world gold price fluctuations over the past 24 hours.
According to Kitco, the spot price of gold in the world market at 4:00 PM on August 25th (Vietnam time) was $3363.64 USD/ounce. This afternoon's price decreased by $5.95 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted using the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,480 VND/USD), the world gold price is approximately 107.48 million VND/ounce (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of gold bars is currently 19.62 million VND/ounce higher than the international gold price.
Global gold prices have fallen slightly from recent highs, influenced by the strengthening US dollar. However, this decline is somewhat limited by expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates. These expectations were reinforced by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's statements last week, which tended to favor monetary easing.
Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.18% after reaching their highest level since August 11th. US December gold futures also declined 0.2% to $3,412.50 per ounce.
The US dollar rose 0.1% against a basket of rival currencies, making gold more expensive for foreign investors and reducing the metal's attractiveness.
According to Matt Simpson, a senior analyst at City Index, gold prices are currently receiving good support at $3,350 per ounce in the short term. He believes that hints from Chairman Powell helped gold create a key low on Friday.
However, for gold prices to rise sustainably, the market needs more data on softer PCE inflation and a weakening labor market. With inflation likely to remain high, the upward momentum in gold prices may be limited after an initial recovery.
Speaking on Friday, Chairman Powell said the Fed could consider cutting interest rates at its meeting next month. He noted that risks to the labor market are increasing, although inflation remains a threat, and a final decision has not yet been made.
The market is currently predicting an 87% probability that the Fed will cut interest rates by 0.25% at its September meeting, with the cumulative cuts expected to reach 48 basis points by the end of the year. A low interest rate environment is typically favorable for gold prices because it reduces the opportunity cost of holding this non-yielding asset.
This optimistic sentiment also helped Asian stock markets rise for a second consecutive session as investors welcomed the possibility of the Fed resuming interest rate cuts. Now, investors are awaiting data on the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, to be released on Friday, which is expected to show core inflation rising slightly to its highest level since late 2023 at 2.9%.
Alongside gold, spot silver prices rose 0.3% to $38.94 per ounce, while platinum prices fell 0.2% to $1,359.66 per ounce. Palladium prices remained virtually unchanged at $1,126.41 per ounce.
