World gold price today June 21, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 a.m. on June 21, Vietnam time, was 3,364.08 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 3.81 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,282 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 111.24 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 8.16 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices recorded the sharpest weekly decline in more than a month. The main reason was the US Federal Reserve (Fed) signaling a more cautious interest rate cut, along with a temporary cooling of concerns about the possibility of the US attacking Iran in the short term.

Specifically, the spot gold price decreased by 0.11%, while the gold futures price in the US also lost 1.3%, to 3,364.00 USD/ounce. Overall, the gold price decreased by about 2.5% for the week.

Meanwhile, the dollar index rose 0.5% and was on track for its biggest gain in more than a month. A stronger greenback makes gold more expensive for investors holding other currencies.

Tensions between Israel and Iran continued into a second week, but a White House statement said President Donald Trump would make a decision on whether the US would enter the war within the next two weeks. The two-week timeline has helped ease market concerns about whether the conflict could ease before the US gets involved militarily, according to Nitesh Shah of WisdomTree, which has helped ease sentiment and led to a slight correction in gold prices.

Gold is often seen as a safe haven asset during times of political and economic uncertainty and has benefited from a low interest rate environment. However, after its meeting on Wednesday, the Fed decided to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25% - 4.50% and also revised its forecast, indicating that the possibility of a rate cut this year is less likely than before due to a more challenging economic outlook.

Meanwhile, President Trump continues to put pressure on the Fed, saying that interest rates should be 2.5 percentage points lower than they are now. However, experts say that gold prices are entering a consolidation phase after previous strong fluctuations.

According to Mr. Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, gold prices may continue to move sideways with the nearest support level at $3,320, and if they continue to fall, they may reach $3,245.

In other precious metals, silver fell 1.1% to $35.99 an ounce. Palladium also lost 0.2% to $1,048.33. Meanwhile, platinum fell 1.7% to $1,285.58 an ounce, after hitting a more than 10-year high in the previous session.

Gold Price Forecast

The gold market’s performance this week reflects the two opposing sides of modern investor sentiment. Gold initially surged, fueled by safe-haven demand amid geopolitical shocks. However, the rally was short-lived as profit-taking and technical selling quickly took over, causing prices to reverse and fall.

The rapid fall of gold prices from a record opening level earlier this week to below $3,400 an ounce suggests that market sentiment can change very quickly. This suggests that investors are still hesitant, as confidence in the long-term uptrend is not yet strong enough without clearer macroeconomic support.

In the coming time, gold prices will be affected by three main factors: prolonged geopolitical developments, the US Federal Reserve's (FED) interest rate policy, and the impact of new trade policies on the global economy. These will be key factors determining the next direction of the gold market.

Despite the current price decline, the fundamentals supporting gold remain strong. Many central banks continue to buy gold in large quantities. Meanwhile, tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East show no signs of abating, keeping gold as an effective hedge against uncertainty.

Whether gold prices can reclaim their previous highs will depend on whether the current uncertainties are enough to trigger sustained demand from both institutional and retail investors. If not, this could be a short-lived rally, with markets quickly adjusting to new geopolitical developments.

On the FED side, the agency believes that inflationary pressures may increase again in the coming months, but still maintains the plan to cut interest rates twice this year as proposed in March. Chairman Jerome Powell also emphasized caution, saying that the FED will wait for more data on the economic outlook before changing policy.

Although the Fed acknowledged that the level of uncertainty has decreased somewhat, the agency still assesses economic risks at a high level, showing that the Fed is having to consider each policy step very carefully.

According to ANZ expert Soni Kumari, the Fed's reluctance to ease monetary policy has reduced market expectations of an early interest rate cut. This has put further pressure on gold prices, because if interest rates remain high, gold will become less attractive to investors.
