World gold price today July 5, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 p.m. on July 5, Vietnam time, was 3,336.23 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 5.42 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,350 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 109.45 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 11.45 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices ended the week slightly higher, as investors rushed into safe-haven assets amid fiscal concerns after the US Congress passed former President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cuts bill. At the same time, a weaker US dollar also contributed to the rise in gold prices.

At 2:30 p.m. on July 5, spot gold prices fell 0.44%. For the week, gold prices increased by about 1.72%. Meanwhile, gold futures in the US also increased 0.16% to 3,342.78 USD/Ounce.

On Thursday, Mr. Trump’s tax-cut bill cleared its final hurdle in Congress, making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, while also funding immigration controls and adding tax incentives for the 2024 election campaign.

According to Marex analyst Edward Meir, the bill does not improve the US fiscal situation, so in the long run it could be bad for the US dollar and support gold prices. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill would add $3.4 trillion to the current $36.2 trillion public debt over a decade.

The dollar index (.DXY) is on track for a second straight weekly decline, making gold cheaper for foreign investors. In addition, Mr. Trump also announced that tariff notices will begin to be sent out on Friday, marking a change from the original plan for individual trade deals.

According to Mr. Meir, if Mr. Trump sticks to the July 9 deadline for imposing tariffs, the USD could continue to weaken and gold prices could rise. Previously, on April 2, Mr. Trump announced tariffs from 10% to 50%, then reduced to 10% until July 9 to facilitate negotiations.

Labor market data showed U.S. businesses added 147,000 jobs in June, more than expected, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, strengthening the case that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged.

Meanwhile, physical gold demand in Asian markets remained weak as high prices kept consumers on edge. However, discounts in India narrowed due to lower imports.

Besides gold prices, spot silver prices were steady at $36.83 an ounce, while platinum rose 0.9% to $1,382.63. In contrast, palladium fell 0.4% to $1,132.87.

Gold price forecast

After holding support around $3,250 an ounce, gold is on track to end the short trading week with a significant gain. This is a positive signal for investors, showing that gold still retains its appeal despite some fluctuations.

The recent sell-off in gold is not surprising, as the market is adjusting interest rate expectations, said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank. However, he said the long-term bullish trend for gold remains intact, despite the current narrow price range.

Mr. Hansen said that gold needs a signal of interest rate cuts to gain further momentum. In the coming weeks, with low market liquidity, gold needs to stay above $3,245 an ounce to avoid a deeper correction. However, he remains optimistic because the fundamentals supporting gold still exist and will continue in the coming time.

Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Northlight Asset Management, said that based on recent employment data, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may delay cutting interest rates until the end of the third quarter or even the fourth quarter.

If the Fed keeps interest rates high for longer, this could put negative pressure on gold prices. Higher interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding gold, while supporting the US dollar and US Treasury yields.

Therefore, in the short term, gold prices may continue to move sideways or weaken slightly, as investors do not have strong motivation to buy but are waiting for clearer signals from the Fed or new economic data.

Robert Minter, Director of ETF Strategy at abrdn, points out that the US public debt has officially surpassed $37 trillion, a worrying figure for the financial situation. However, the US is not the only country with budget deficit problems. Many European countries have also increased spending recently, reflecting a global trend.

According to Mr. Minter, the currency depreciation is clearly reflected in the price of gold, as the metal continues to maintain a record high compared to most major currencies. He believes that the price above $3,000/ounce is completely reasonable in the context of high global debt, and it is unlikely that the price of gold will fall below this level again.

Mr. Minter predicts that as soon as the Fed starts cutting interest rates, gold prices could rise another $300/ounce, bringing prices close to $3,500/ounce. This shows that the long-term outlook for gold is still very positive, especially in the context of the global economy facing many financial and inflation risks.
