World gold price today March 23, 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 at 3023.05 USD/ounce. Today's gold price increased by 19.17 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate, on the free market (25,910 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 95.47 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 1.93 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices have increased for the third consecutive week, despite a slight correction at the end of the week. The increase of about 1%, largely due to market concerns about US President Donald Trump's new tariff policy and the economic impact it could cause.

Recently, after a series of strong increases, the gold market has shown signs of slowing down. Many experts believe that gold prices may be entering a period of pause and accumulation before establishing a new direction. However, the general sentiment in the market is still very positive. Despite short-term adjustments, there is no sign that investors want to sell off.

The main reason why gold has remained above $3,000 an ounce is because many fundamental factors have not changed. Central banks continue to buy, especially when they want to reduce their dependence on the USD. At the same time, in the context of global economic instability and rising inflation, investors still see gold as a safe asset.

According to expert George Milling-Stanley, the current time should focus on investment demand through gold-linked ETFs. He believes that money is starting to flow strongly into this channel and will continue to be a major driving force for gold prices in the rest of the year.

Inflation is considered the main reason why investors return to gold. Previously, many people chose to buy short-term financial products such as money market funds because of the attractive real yields. But when inflation started to rise due to the impact of the trade war, real yields fell, making gold more attractive.

Since the beginning of the year, the amount of gold held by the SPDR Gold Shares ETF – the world’s largest gold fund – has increased by more than 37 tons, reaching 910 tons. However, this figure is still much lower than the peak of nearly 1,278 tons in 2020 and 28% lower than the record set in 2012.

It is worth noting that gold prices are still rising strongly, even though the amount of gold in ETFs has not fully recovered. Over the past 12 months, the price has increased by nearly 62%, showing that the real demand is still coming from factors other than ETFs.

The difference between this rally and 2012 and 2020 is clear. Previously, when prices peaked, investors tended to sell to lock in profits. But now, despite the strong price increase, ETFs have not attracted the capital expected, proving that the growth potential is still very large.

In 2020, gold also benefited from the massive money injection by governments and central banks to deal with the pandemic. However, most of the money then flowed into stocks. Now, the trend is gradually changing as many investors start to return to gold as a hedge against risks, especially in the context of trade tensions and unpredictable monetary policy.

Gold price forecast

During the weekend trading session, the world gold price barely fluctuated due to no notable news appearing, while the market recorded profit-taking pressure from investors. However, as soon as the gold price decreased slightly, many people quickly bought in, showing that the market sentiment was still quite positive.

Most experts believe that the prospect of gold prices continuing to increase remains, but some also emphasize that a temporary price pause is necessary for the market to maintain a sustainable upward momentum in the long term.

Gold could trade around $3,000 an ounce in the coming months, and holding above that level could signal that the current rally is more than temporary, according to strategist George Milling-Stanley of State Street Global Advisors.

Some experts also believe that a drop of a few hundred dollars in gold will not affect the upward trend too much. Ole Hansen of Saxo Bank said that if the price of gold falls by about $100, it could be a good buying opportunity, especially for investors who want to shift assets from stocks to gold due to concerns about inflation and recession.

David Morrison of Trade Nation agrees, saying a mild correction would help the market become healthier and create opportunities for new investors to enter. He believes the $3,000/ounce mark will remain an important support level in the near future.

This week’s Kitco News survey shows that sentiment among experts and investors is beginning to diverge. Of the 18 experts surveyed, only 39% expect gold prices to rise, while 28% expect prices to fall and 33% believe the market will move sideways. On the individual investor side, 59% still believe gold prices will continue to rise, but that number is down from last week.

Meanwhile, experts from Commerzbank warn that inflation remains a factor that could put pressure on gold. After the US Federal Reserve (Fed) kept interest rates unchanged, they raised their 2025 inflation forecast to 2.8%, higher than their previous forecast. This makes investors more cautious.

Gold is still considered a safe haven asset, especially in the context of rising risks of stagflation. The combination of high inflation and slow economic growth is something that investors are very afraid of.

Key economic data releases next week include manufacturing and services PMIs, consumer confidence, durable goods orders, unemployment figures and fourth-quarter GDP. But the most closely watched data will be the PCE index – the Fed’s preferred inflation measure – due Friday morning.
