Gold prices have rebounded after a sharp decline last weekend. Although domestic market demand is not high, the difference between buying and selling prices of gold among businesses remains at VND3 million/tael. This shows a very high level of risk.
The domestic gold ring price today is adjusted to increase according to the world gold price. The Doji gold ring price (buy) is 1.5 million VND/tael more expensive than the price of SJC gold bars and gold rings.

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:00 a.m. today, Vietnam time, was 2,900.24 USD/ounce. Today's gold price increased by 17.39 USD compared to yesterday. Converted to the USD exchange rate, on the free market (25,710 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 90.88 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 280,000 VND/tael lower than the international gold price.

Gold prices rose as the dollar weakened to a two-month low and concerns about a looming trade war arose. US President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on imported goods, raising concerns about global trade tensions.
The US dollar is currently at a two-month low, making gold cheaper for buyers using other currencies. "Gold continues to benefit from investors seeking safe havens amid concerns about tariffs and trade wars," said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo. He also predicted that gold could continue to rise to $3,200, thanks to demand from central banks.
President Trump renewed his threat to impose tariffs on imported cars on April 2, part of a series of trade measures he has taken since his re-election. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Kyiv and Europe would join talks aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.
"Progress in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks may have offset some of gold's year-to-date gains, but prices remain supported by a number of positive factors," said Han Tan, market analyst at Exinity Group.
Gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty. However, higher interest rates can reduce the appeal of gold, which does not yield interest. Federal Reserve officials are scheduled to speak later in the day, and markets will be watching closely for clues on the path of U.S. interest rates.
Besides gold, silver prices also increased by 1% to 32.5 USD/ounce, while platinum increased by 0.4% to 983.2 USD and palladium increased by 2% to 980.5 USD.
Gold Price Forecast
UBS has updated its forecast for global gold prices, saying the precious metal could rise to a peak of more than $3,200 before stabilizing at a high price in the coming years. This forecast is higher than the previous peak UBS gave, citing many positive factors supporting gold prices.
“It seems like a lot has happened in February alone,” said Joni Teves, a strategist at UBS. “This sentiment probably applies to all financial markets in 2025, but gold in particular has seen unprecedented volatility and a record price increase in just over six weeks since the start of the year.”
“Our latest assessment of the market situation has led us to update our view and raise our gold price forecast to a higher level, with gold prices likely to peak in late 2025, at a higher level than previously forecast,” Ms Teves added.
Gold is a sought-after safe-haven asset as investors seek to protect themselves from geopolitical turmoil and economic uncertainty, according to experts. For many investors and analysts, it is only a matter of time before gold prices reach $3,000 an ounce; however, that could be just a small part of a much larger rally to $3,500 an ounce.
The world gold price has been maintaining an upward trend since December 18, with the next resistance level at $2,942.78/ounce. If it surpasses this level, gold can continue to increase strongly without much resistance.
On the other hand, important support levels are at $2,888.52/ounce and stronger at $2,857.49 – $2,836.67/ounce. If the price falls below $2,864.33/ounce, the downtrend could resume. But with market support, the possibility of a strong sell-off in gold is quite low.
