World gold price this afternoon March 26, 2025

As of 3:30 p.m. this afternoon, March 26, the world gold price was listed at 3,030.42 USD/ounce, a slight increase of 19.14 USD/ounce compared to the close of yesterday's trading session.

World gold prices rose slightly as investors worried about US President Donald Trump's plan to impose countervailing tariffs, as this could push up inflation and curb economic growth.

US gold futures also rose 0.1% to $3,030.10. "There are real concerns about US economic growth and inflation. The US could be facing stagflation, which could support gold," said Soni Kumari, commodity strategist at ANZ.

Markets are keeping an eye on countervailing tariffs that the US administration may impose on April 2. Mr. Trump’s tax policies are likely to increase inflation, slow economic growth and escalate trade tensions.

U.S. consumer confidence fell to its lowest level in more than four years in March as households feared recession and higher inflation due to tariffs. Gold prices have risen more than 15% this year and hit a record $3,057.21 an ounce on March 20.

Several Federal Reserve officials are due to speak later in the day, while markets are also looking ahead to Friday's consumer spending data for clues on monetary policy. Gold, which does not yield interest, typically benefits in a low-interest-rate environment.

In other developments, the US has reached an agreement with Ukraine and Russia to temporarily halt attacks at sea and on energy targets, and Washington has agreed to lift some sanctions on Moscow.

'The nearest resistance for gold is at $3,038, followed by $3,058 and $3,076-$3,090,' said Kelvin Wong, senior market analyst for Asia-Pacific at OANDA.

Meanwhile, spot silver prices remained at $33.75 an ounce, platinum prices fell 0.2% to $975.10, and palladium prices fell 0.4% to $952.21.

Gold price forecast

Soni Kumari predicts gold prices could hit $3,200 by September, but also warns that any hawkish comments from the Fed could slow gold's rally.

French bank Société Générale (SocGen) has just announced its multi-asset investment strategy for the second quarter, in which gold is still an important part of the portfolio.

Specifically, SocGen continues to allocate 7% of its portfolio to gold. SocGen believes that there is growing skepticism about the special economic status of the US, leading to changes in global investment flows. In this context, gold is considered a reliable hedge asset.

According to banking experts, gold is still an asset with a strong upward trend in the context of complex geopolitical fluctuations, especially related to US policy.

Gold prices are currently stable above $3,000 an ounce, but SocGen predicts that the average could reach $3,300 an ounce in the fourth quarter of this year. The bank also stressed that factors such as geopolitical instability and shifts in the global financial system could be the driving force pushing gold prices closer to $4,000 an ounce.

In the short term, expert Colin Cieszynski of SIA Wealth Management believes that gold prices will continue to fluctuate around the threshold of 3,000 USD/ounce. The market is waiting for more clear signals from US tax policy and political developments in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. If there is no sudden information, gold prices will likely fluctuate in a narrow range from 2,980 to 3,050 USD/ounce.

On Kitco, Mr. George Milling-Stanley – Chief Gold Strategist at State Street Global Advisors – said that the current neutral stance of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) is unlikely to put much pressure on gold prices for the rest of the year.

In the medium term, gold prices still have a chance to surpass the recent peak of 3,055 USD/ounce, if investors continue to return to the market after corrections. However, this trend depends a lot on geopolitical fluctuations and the strength of the USD in the international market.
