World gold price this afternoon August 25, 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 25, Vietnam time, was 3,363.64 USD/ounce. This afternoon's gold price decreased by 5.95 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,480 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 107.48 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of gold bars is 19.62 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

Gold prices fell slightly from recent highs, weighed down by a stronger US dollar. However, the decline was somewhat limited by expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates. These expectations were reinforced by dovish comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell last week.

Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.18% after hitting their highest level since August 11. US gold futures for December delivery also fell 0.2% to $3,412.50/ounce.

The dollar rose 0.1% against a basket of rival currencies, making gold more expensive for foreign investors and reducing the metal's appeal.

Gold is currently well supported at $3,350 an ounce in the short term, said Matt Simpson, senior analyst at City Index, adding that Powell’s comments helped gold make a key bottom on Friday.

However, for gold to rally sustainably, the market needs more data on softer PCE inflation and a weaker labor market. With inflation likely to remain high, gold’s upside is likely to 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 said risks to the labor market were rising, although inflation remained a threat, and a final decision had not yet been made.

The market is currently pricing in an 87% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by 0.25% at its September meeting, with a cumulative cut expected to be 48 basis points by the end of the year. A low interest rate environment is generally good for gold prices as it reduces the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding asset.

The optimism also helped Asian stocks rise for a second session as investors welcomed the possibility of the Fed resuming interest rate cuts. Investors now await U.S. personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price data due on Friday, which is expected to show core inflation ticking up to its highest level since late 2023 at 2.9%.

Besides gold, spot silver rose 0.3% to $38.94 an ounce, while platinum fell 0.2% to $1,359.66 an ounce. Palladium was little changed at $1,126.41 an ounce.
