World gold price today July 8, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 5:00 p.m. on July 8, Vietnam time, was 3,324.5 USD/ounce. Today's gold price increased by 16.68 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,305 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 108.87 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 12.13 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices fell slightly due to pressure from rising US Treasury yields, in the context of US President Donald Trump announcing new tariff proposals against trade partners, including Japan and South Korea.

Specifically, spot gold prices increased by 0.5%, while US gold futures prices decreased by 0.12% to 3,324.78 USD/ounce. The yield on 10-year US government bonds increased to a two-week high, making gold prices less attractive.

“Gold is caught between a lot of pressures,” said UBS commodities analyst Giovanni Staunovo. On the one hand, the US’ decision to extend the deadline for trade talks with several partners is putting downward pressure on gold prices. On the other hand, the fact that major US trading partners in Asia could face higher tariffs in the near future is a supportive factor for gold, as this could dampen economic growth prospects.

This morning (Vietnam time), President Trump announced that 14 countries will be subject to significantly higher tariffs from August 1, marking a new phase in the trade war he initiated in April, with tariffs ranging from 25% to 40%. Mr. Trump emphasized that this new deadline is fixed, but will consider extending it if countries propose trade agreements.

Initially, the reciprocal tariffs were capped at 10% until July 9 to facilitate negotiations, but so far the US has only reached agreements with the UK and Vietnam. In June, Washington and Beijing agreed on a common tariff framework.

Meanwhile, China has warned the Trump administration against reigniting trade tensions and threatened to retaliate against countries that sign deals with the US aimed at cutting China out of its supply chains.

Mr Trump’s tariffs have also raised concerns about inflation, making it harder for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. Investors are awaiting minutes from the Fed’s June meeting, due on Wednesday, for further clues on the direction of monetary policy.

Besides gold, spot silver remained unchanged at $36.72 an ounce, while platinum fell 0.3 percent to $1,366.25. Palladium, on the other hand, rose 0.5 percent to $1,116.86.

Gold Price Forecast

Bullion prices have remained high recently as many investors have sought gold as a safe haven amid global geopolitical and trade tensions. Gold’s appeal has been further reinforced by strong inflows into gold investment funds, along with demand from central banks.

However, experts predict that gold prices may not increase sharply in the short term but will enter a sideways phase, as the market lacks strong enough factors to push prices higher.

Jim Wyckoff, senior market analyst at Kitco, said that the gold market is currently in a “sideways and volatile trading phase.” He said that while the price chart still shows a long-term uptrend, buyers need more positive signals to break out of the current trading range.

According to Wyckoff, the upside potential for gold remains, but investors should keep a close eye on key economic and political developments that could act as a catalyst to help gold break out of its current sideways phase and establish a clearer new trend.
