World gold price today May 13, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 am today, Vietnam time, was 3,242.44 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 86.4 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,140 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 103.27 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 15.93 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices fell more than 2% after the US and China announced a temporary agreement to reduce import tariffs. This agreement improved risk sentiment in the market, causing safe-haven flows to withdraw from gold.

Specifically, the spot gold price decreased by 2.6%, the US gold futures contract also decreased by 3%, down to 3,244.2 USD/ounce. Previously, last month, gold had set a record high of 3,500.05 USD/ounce due to concerns about increasing trade tensions.

The main reason for the record drop in gold prices was a shift in investor sentiment toward riskier assets. This followed positive news over the weekend that the US and China were improving trade relations. The two countries agreed to cut most tariffs on each other's goods within 90 days, raising hopes of easing tensions between the world's two largest economies.

The dollar index (.DXY) rose more than 1% against other currencies, making gold more expensive for foreign investors. "Gold prices may continue to fall due to the strengthening dollar and easing geopolitical risks. In the short term, gold prices may fall to $3,200 an ounce," said Jigar Trivedi, senior commodities analyst at Reliance Securities.

Along with that, Asian and European stock markets both recorded increases in the trading session last night. In the US, stock indexes are also forecast to open in the green in New York. Crude oil prices on the Nymex floor also jumped to around $63.25/barrel. The yield on 10-year US government bonds is currently at 4.457%. Experts say gold has lost its short-term technical advantage after this decline.

Markets are awaiting key economic data this week, including the US consumer price index (CPI), producer price index (PPI) and retail sales, which will provide clues on the Fed's monetary policy in the coming time.

Besides gold, other precious metals also fell in price. Spot silver lost 0.2% to $32.64 an ounce. Platinum fell 1.7% to $977.77 an ounce, while palladium fell 1.6% to $960 an ounce.

Gold Price Forecast

Technically, investors betting on gold for June delivery have lost their short-term advantage. If gold is to rise again, it needs to overcome strong resistance at $3,350 an ounce.

Conversely, bears are aiming to push prices below technical support around $3,200. Immediate resistance levels are $3,250 and $3,275, while the nearest support is at the May low of $3,209.4. The Wyckoff Market Rating Index is currently neutral: 5.0.

Jigar Trivedi, an expert at Reliance Securities, said that gold prices are under pressure due to the strengthening of the US dollar. The reason is that the Trump administration has continuously sent positive signals after recent trade negotiations in Switzerland, causing demand for shelter to weaken.

Mr. Trivedi said that in the short term, this trend may continue. The stronger US dollar and the less tense geopolitical situation have made gold lose its appeal. According to him, the price of gold may fall to $ 3,200 / ounce in the near future.

On the US central bank side, Ms. Beth Hammack, President of the FED branch in Cleveland, said that the FED still needs more time to fully assess the impact of policies, especially the tariffs that Mr. Trump has issued, before making an appropriate response.

FxPro expert Alex Kuptsikevich noted that the recent rise to $3,500 an ounce has triggered a wave of selling in the gold market. According to him, this week's gold price action is quite similar to the pattern of last April, possibly due to seasonal factors.

Last year, gold prices spent three months consolidating before recovering, but this time, he said the most optimistic scenario is for prices to move sideways. In the negative scenario, gold could fall as low as $2,800 an ounce before the end of the year.
