Gold price this afternoon September 4: SJC has a new record, world price decreases

World gold prices rise to unprecedented highs

As of 3:30 p.m. this afternoon, Vietnam time, the world gold price reached 3,544.23 USD/ounce, up 0.21% or 7.59 USD/ounce compared to yesterday.

The world gold price slightly decreased in this afternoon's trading session, after a strong increase to a record high yesterday. The main reason is that investors took advantage of the time when gold reached its peak to take profits and reap profits.

Specifically, spot gold price decreased by 0.21%. Meanwhile, US gold futures price for December also decreased by 1.1% to 3596.2 USD/ounce.

The decline comes amid strong market expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will soon cut interest rates. In addition, the general sentiment among investors is quite cautious as everyone is focusing on the important US employment report to be announced on Friday. This data is expected to provide clearer clues about the Fed's monetary policy path in the coming time.

According to one expert, this is just a technical profit-taking action and gold prices are still in an uptrend. Expectations of a Fed rate cut, along with concerns about the independence of this organization, are expected to continue to boost demand for gold as a safe investment channel.

Recent economic data has reinforced that expectation. The US Labor Department said the number of job openings fell more than expected in July. At the same time, many Fed officials have expressed concerns about the labor market and advocated for an early interest rate cut.

Gold tends to benefit in low-interest-rate environments because it doesn’t offer a yield like other financial assets. One major bank forecasts gold could even rise beyond $4,000 by mid-2026 if private investors pile into the metal, maintaining its buy rating.

Trade tensions are also adding to the uncertainty. US President Donald Trump has said the US may have to scrap trade deals with the European Union, Japan, South Korea and elsewhere if he loses a Supreme Court case on reciprocal tariffs. This has raised concerns and sent investors looking for safe havens.

Besides gold prices, spot silver prices fell slightly by 0.8% to $40.85 an ounce, despite previously hitting its highest level since 2011. Platinum fell by 1% to $1,407.1 an ounce and palladium also fell by 0.8% to $1,138.11 an ounce.
