Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy, CEO of the Faculty of Finance and Banking, Nguyen Trai University, said that the current gold price movement is very complicated and unpredictable, especially in the short term. Therefore, investing in gold is potentially risky for those with short-term goals or surfing.

According to him, in the long term, it is possible to invest in gold but the proportion should not exceed 10% of the total asset portfolio. The remaining capital should be allocated reasonably into potential channels such as: Business, startups, or investing in corporate stocks.

Personal financial planning expert Ngo Thanh Huan also believes that gold may end its growth in 2025 and enter a "hibernation" cycle in the 2026-2030 period.

Mr. Huan believes that gold is not suitable to buy more at this time. The two promising investment channels suggested by Mr. Huan are real estate and stocks through open-end fund certificates.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Huu Huan, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, investors should not buy much gold at the present time because the world gold price is very high, there is great pressure to take profit. Those who already have gold and want to keep it for the long term should still keep it.

For investors with a speculative view, it is necessary to be extremely careful when the gold price has reached such a peak. The current situation is especially risky for investors who use financial “leverage” to invest in gold.

World gold price today February 25, 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 2,950.14 USD/ounce. Today's gold price increased by 12.7 USD compared to yesterday. Converted to the USD exchange rate, on the free market (25,770 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 92.48 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 480 thousand VND/tael lower than the international gold price.

Gold prices rose sharply, approaching a record high of $2,954.69 an ounce last week, thanks to a weaker US dollar. Investors are awaiting an important inflation report due later this week to gauge the direction of interest rates from the US Federal Reserve. US gold futures also rose 0.3% to $2,961.80.

The weaker US dollar this month has helped spot gold prices hover around record highs, supported by inflows into ETFs, said Han Tan, a market analyst at Exinity Group. SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings rose to 904.38 tonnes at the end of last week, the highest since August 2023.

The U.S. dollar index (.DXY) was little changed, making gold cheaper for buyers using other currencies. The threat of a trade war due to former U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff plans pushed gold prices above a record $2,950 an ounce last week and put $3,000 an ounce in investors' sights more than ever.

Gold is seen as a safe investment in times of uncertainty, but higher interest rates could reduce the appeal of the non-yielding asset. 'Gold investors appear to be waiting for the right moment to hit $3,000, amid the risk that the next Fed rate cut could be pushed back to later this year,' Mr Tan added.

Traders expect the Fed's first rate cut this year to come in September. For further insight into the central bank's policy, investors will be watching the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, due out on Friday.

Meanwhile, silver prices fell 0.3% to $32.45 an ounce, platinum fell 0.5% to $964.75 and palladium fell 1.2% to $957.54.

Gold Price Forecast

Analysts predict that gold prices will continue to increase tomorrow, because the precious metal's upward momentum has not ended yet as the market has many supporting factors. In particular, the focus is on the world's political and economic instability, which is still hot, making gold a safe haven.

It is forecasted that the world gold price next week may reach 3,000 USD/ounce due to many supporting factors. Domestically, SJC gold rings and bars will continue to rise following the world gold price and with the strong increase in buying demand, many new peaks will be established, far surpassing the 92 million VND mark.

Christopher Vecchio, Head of Futures and Forex Trading at Tastylive.com, said gold is in a solid uptrend. He noted that investors should not ignore this moment, as the precious metal has a lot of momentum to reach the historic level of $3,000/ounce.

Lukman Otunuga, Chief Market Analyst at FXTM, said gold prices have plenty of room to rise. Demand for gold-backed exchange-traded funds has increased in recent weeks as geopolitical uncertainty continues to heat up.

However, Lukman Otunuga warned that in addition to political uncertainty, this week’s US PCE inflation report could impact gold prices. If the inflation report turns out to be supportive of the US dollar, it could lead to prolonged weakness in gold. If gold’s price falls below $2,950 an ounce for an extended period, it could send prices tumbling back to $2,900 an ounce.

James Stanley, senior market strategist at Forex.com, does not expect gold to face any major resistance before reaching $3,000 an ounce. He believes that once this historic milestone is reached, gold will remain at that level for quite some time. If the fiscal policies of the US government and the monetary policies of the Fed are favorable for gold, the price will go far beyond $3,000 an ounce.
