World gold price today February 22, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:00 a.m. today, Vietnam time, was 2,929.8 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 10.25 USD compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate, on the free market (25,715 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 91.82 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 120,000 VND/tael lower than the international gold price.

World gold prices fell slightly at the end of the week but remained on track to increase for the eighth consecutive week, after hitting two consecutive record highs. The main reason is that investment demand for gold as a 'safe asset' remains high, amid concerns about US President Donald Trump's new tariff plan.

Specifically, the price of spot gold decreased by 0.35%. However, this week gold still increased by about 1.6%, after reaching a record level of 2,954.69 USD/ounce. The price of gold futures in the US also decreased by 0.5% to 2,941.70 USD.

According to Ole Hansen, commodity strategist at Saxo Bank, the continuous rise of gold since December has not been affected, unless the price falls to around $ 2,850 / ounce.

The world gold price broke two records this week, surpassing the threshold of 2,950 USD/ounce. The main reason is that concerns about global economic growth and political instability have caused investors to seek gold as a safe investment channel. Since the beginning of 2025, the gold price has increased by 11.5%.

This week, President Trump announced plans to impose new tariffs on timber and forestry products, in addition to previous plans for tariffs on autos, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. This has further fueled trade war concerns, making gold an attractive option.

Trump’s policies are believed to be inflationary, forcing the US Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates. High interest rates tend to reduce the appeal of gold because it is a non-interest-bearing asset.

The world's two largest gold consuming countries, China and India, currently have very low physical demand due to record high gold prices.

Meanwhile, silver remained unchanged at $32.92 an ounce, palladium edged down 0.3 percent to $974.75 an ounce, and platinum fell 0.2 percent to $976.80 an ounce, trending lower for the week.

Gold Price Forecast

Gold expert Tran Duy Phuong - Director of Golden Fund Gold and Gemstone Company predicts that from now until June and July, the gold price will likely increase to 3,100-3,200 USD/ounce. However, this increase will have alternating decreases, not continuous increases. The gold price will only decrease from the end of the third quarter, the beginning of the fourth quarter. Therefore, people need to consider choosing the time to invest.

Gold’s rally was fueled by President Trump’s comments on new tariffs on autos and pharmaceuticals, which could pave the way for gold to hit $3,000 an ounce, said Zain Vawda, market analyst at MarketPulse (OANDA).

'Gold hit two consecutive record highs, supported by continued momentum and safe-haven demand in response to Trump's increasingly erratic behavior. The Fed's cautious stance on interest rates was largely ignored as prices continued to head towards the next major psychological level of $3,000/oz,' Saxo Bank analysts noted.

Looking ahead to gold, commodity analysts at Metals Focus said they expect gold prices to hit a high of $3,000 an ounce in the second quarter of this year; however, they noted that there is still a risk of profit-taking in the short term.

Giovanni Staunovo, an analyst at UBS, said central banks will continue to buy gold in the near future. This will benefit gold in the future.

While gold prices have hit new record highs, momentum in the market is starting to wane. While gold remains in a solid uptrend, investors may need to be a little more patient as they aim for $3,000 an ounce.

Since the beginning of the year, the world gold price has increased by 12%, reflecting investors' concerns about global economic and political instability. With this strong increase, the market is closely watching the possibility of gold prices reaching the 3,000 USD/ounce mark in the near future.

According to analyst Ross Norman, the $3,000/ounce level is becoming an important psychological threshold attracting the market. He commented that although from a technical perspective, gold is in a state of overbought, the price is still trending towards a new record.
