World gold price this afternoon August 27, 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 27, Vietnam time, was 3,383.57 USD/ounce. This afternoon's gold price increased by 8.84 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,536 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 108.2 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of gold bars is 19.8 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

Domestic gold prices are showing mixed movements among different products. Large gold companies and many commercial banks such as PNJ, DOJI, Eximbank, Sacombank and ACB are still keeping gold bar prices at record highs.

In fact, many small gold shops in Ho Chi Minh City have proactively reduced prices. They listed the buying price of SJC gold bars at VND128 million/tael and the selling price at VND129 million/tael, about VND1 million lower than the previous day.

On the contrary, the price of 99.99% gold rings and jewelry gold continued to increase slightly. Most stores, both large and small, sold at VND122.4 million/tael and bought at VND119.9 million/tael. This price is VND200,000/tael higher than the previous trading session. The reason is that SJC gold bars have a scarce supply and are too expensive, while gold rings are more readily available and easier to buy and sell, so they are preferred by many people.

One notable point is that the market had almost no reaction to the information that the Government issued a new Decree No. 232/2025/ND-CP, amending the old Decree on gold trading management. This Decree officially ended the State's monopoly mechanism in the production and import-export of raw gold to make gold bars, instead applying the form of conditional licensing to qualified organizations.

According to experts, domestic gold prices are unlikely to decrease immediately. New regulations will take time to come into effect. The State Bank must first draft and issue a detailed circular, then issue licenses to qualified businesses and banks to participate in production and import.

Only when the supply of raw gold becomes abundant and the market is truly competitive, will the price of gold bars have a basis to cool down and move closer to the world gold price.

World gold prices increased slightly in this morning's trading session, due to new concerns about the independence of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) after President Donald Trump's threat to fire Governor Lisa Cook.

Specifically, spot gold prices increased by 0.26%, after reaching the highest level since August 11. Gold futures for December delivery also increased by 0.3% to 3,433.30 USD/ounce.

According to experts, short-term speculators are taking profits. However, gold prices are still receiving support from expectations of a more flexible monetary policy from the Fed. The short-term outlook shows that gold prices still have the potential to rise to test the $3,400 threshold, and even surpass the $3,435 level.

Market developments were also influenced by political events. President Trump announced the firing of Ms. Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud, a move that could affect the President's authority over the central bank. Ms. Cook insisted that Mr. Trump did not have the authority to fire her and that she would not resign. Mr. Trump has repeatedly urged the Fed to cut interest rates and criticized Chairman Jerome Powell for acting too slowly.

Investors are now looking to the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE), due out on Friday for clues on the path of interest rates, following dovish comments from Chairman Powell at the Jackson Hole conference last week.

The market is now pricing in an 87% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by a quarter point at its policy meeting on September 17. Gold does not yield interest, so it typically benefits in a low-interest-rate environment.

Besides gold prices, spot silver prices fell 0.4% to $38.42/ounce, platinum fell 0.4% to $1,343.95/ounce and palladium remained unchanged at $1,093.57/ounce.
