World gold price today July 29, 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 29, Vietnam time, was 3,326.38 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 6.6 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,400 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 109.31 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 11.89 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

Gold prices recovered after initial excitement over the US-EU trade deal faded. Meanwhile, investors are turning their attention to the upcoming policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) for clues on the future path of interest rates.

Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.2%, recovering from hitting their lowest level since July 9 yesterday. Meanwhile, US gold futures also rose 0.5% to $3,325.40.

Currently, the gap between domestic and international gold prices has not been narrowed due to the unstable supply of gold bars. The market is waiting for the government's new gold management policy, with the hope that SJC gold prices will decrease to get closer to international prices.

Market sentiment is adjusting after recent trade deals, but there are still hurdles ahead, said Ricardo Evangelista, senior analyst at brokerage firm ActivTrades. If the US and China fail to reach an agreement and do not extend the negotiation period, risks could return, leading to global economic uncertainty that could have a major impact on investor sentiment.

The European Union (EU) and the United States announced a tariff deal on Sunday that will see most EU exports to the United States subject to a 15% tariff. The move comes nearly three months after the UK imposed a basic tariff of 10%. However, investors remain concerned about the negative impact of the deal, especially the possibility that high tariffs will remain in place, which could hurt growth and inflation.

Gold is often seen as a safe haven asset during times of political and financial uncertainty. Meanwhile, top economic officials from the United States and China met for more than five hours in Stockholm to resolve longstanding economic differences. The two sides are trying to extend a three-month ceasefire.

Attention now turns to the Fed's two-day policy meeting, which begins later in the day. Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged, but investors will be closely watching the statement to gauge when the Fed might cut rates next.

Besides gold prices, spot silver prices held steady at $38.18 an ounce, while platinum fell 0.6% to $1,382.10 and palladium edged down 0.4% to $1,241.

Gold Price Forecast

According to Peter Grant, an expert from Zaner Metals, technical analysis shows that gold prices are likely to find important support around $3,300/ounce. He emphasized that the upcoming decision of the Fed on interest rates and monetary policy will greatly affect the trend of gold.

Currently, gold prices are fluctuating between $3,332 and $3,342 per ounce, down slightly from last week's high of nearly $3,360. Technically, the market is forming a triangle pattern with a top of $3,440 and a support bottom around $3,300 per ounce.

Experts recommend that investors should be cautious and only buy when prices correct downward with a long-term vision. Gold is still considered a safe haven asset in a volatile market, and each decline opens up accumulation opportunities for those who are patient.

Daniel Pavilonis of RJO Futures said that gold is in a short-term correction phase but still maintains a long-term uptrend as fundamentals remain supportive. Similarly, Jim Wyckoff of Kitco Metals said that the market is under profit-taking pressure after a strong rally, but demand for safe havens remains high due to geopolitical risks and inflation.

HSBC analyst James Steele said gold’s rally is waning as investment demand eases, but central bank demand remains strong, supporting prices in the medium to long term. He forecasts gold prices could average $3,215 an ounce in 2025 and $3,125 an ounce in 2026, but warned of the risk of a deeper correction if sentiment deteriorates.

Other experts such as Edward Meir (Marex) and Suki Cooper (Standard Chartered) believe that the weak USD and the US-China trade tensions will continue to support gold. However, the recent US-EU trade agreement may cause gold to fluctuate slightly in the short term.

Experts Aakash Doshi (State Street) and Nicholas Colas (DataTrek) commented that 2025 could mark a new bull cycle for gold, with an increase of about 29% compared to the beginning of the year, outperforming the stock market.

Demand from central banks and global investors continues to be a key factor, even as stocks rally. The shift to alternative assets such as gold is expected to continue in the medium term.
