World gold price today August 27, 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. on August 27, Vietnam time, was 3,374 USD/ounce. Today's gold price increased by 4.36 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,530 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 107.95 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of gold bars is 19.76 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

Gold prices rose slightly, mainly due to a series of favorable US economic indicators. In addition, confidence in the US Federal Reserve (Fed) was shaken after President Donald Trump unexpectedly fired a governor of the central bank. In that context, gold prices became a safe haven for investors.

Specifically, spot gold prices increased by 0.13%. During the session, gold prices even reached a record high of 3,386.27 USD/ounce. Gold futures for December delivery also increased slightly by 0.1% to 3,420.40 USD/ounce.

The initial surge in gold prices was sparked by President Trump's unprecedented move to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, who was accused of handling mortgages. This action raised concerns about the Fed's independence. Analysts said the move had a positive impact on gold prices, as the Fed's monetary policy is a key factor influencing gold prices today.

In addition, global trade developments are also attracting attention. China will send Vice Minister of Commerce Li Chenggang to the US to meet with officials to continue discussions on the trade deal, a move seen as a positive signal for a high-level meeting between Mr. Trump and President Xi Jinping.

Outside the US, political concerns in France have also been raised. Prime Minister François Bayrou has called for a confidence vote, which could see his government collapse as early as next month. Investors fear political uncertainty will continue to weigh on French assets and European markets.

At the same time, the US government announced that it would impose a 50% tax on goods imported from India from August 27, in order to pressure Russia to sit at the negotiating table to end the war in Ukraine. These factors combined to cause volatility in the international financial market, but benefited the price of gold as a safe haven.

Recent economic data also supports this expectation. World gold prices rose slightly after new economic data from the US was released. The US Department of Commerce said durable goods orders fell 2.8% in July. This was better than economists' forecast of a 4% decline, but still showed signs of a slight slowdown in economic activity.

Besides gold, silver prices fell slightly by 0.2% to $38.49 an ounce. Platinum prices rose by 0.2% to $1,345.05 an ounce. Palladium prices rose by 0.6% to $1,345.05 an ounce, recovering after hitting their lowest level since July 9.

Gold price forecast

Yesterday, domestic gold prices had many notable fluctuations. Specifically, the price of gold bars at SJC, PNJ, DOJI, BTMC stores was adjusted to increase sharply, to 126.1 - 127.7 million VND/tael (buy - sell).

But in the banking sector, Sacombank suddenly raised the price of gold bars to 124 - 130 million VND/tael (buy - sell). This is the highest price ever officially listed by a bank on the market.

Gold prices are currently being affected by many different factors. According to Bloomberg, the main reason for the recent increase is that investors have not found a more attractive place to park their money. Some experts have expressed concern that this could be a sign of a speculative price fever, also known as 'irrational euphoria', and could create a gold price bubble.

The global economic backdrop also plays a role. China’s economy is showing signs of deflation and domestic demand is not really strong. This situation could weaken businesses and make the gold price rally unstable.

However, most believe that gold is still the top safe asset. Experts believe that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will soon return to its easing policy by cutting interest rates. This often weakens the USD and creates momentum for gold prices to increase. In addition, geopolitical tensions around the world continue to push investors to seek gold as a shield to protect assets.

Tai Wong, an independent trader, said that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's recent remarks at the Jackson Hole conference were a clear signal of a possible rate cut in September. This decision has provided strong support for the gold market. However, he also noted that the $3,400/ounce price level will be an important barrier to overcome.

Ole Hansen, an expert from Saxo Bank, predicts that gold prices are about to enter a positive phase. After a relatively quiet summer, the Fed's monetary policy is expected to give gold a boost. Mr. Hansen expects the Fed to lower interest rates in the final months of the year, which usually weakens the USD and pushes gold prices higher, possibly even reaching the record level of over 3,500 USD like in April.

While confidence in the Fed’s interest rate cuts is supporting gold, the weakening US dollar and political risks are key factors in the near term, said French bank Société Générale. The bank remains bullish on gold this year and even expects prices to surpass $4,000 by mid-2025. It said it would not sell until prices reach that level.

Geopolitical factors remain a long-term support base. The Western freeze on the assets of the Russian Central Bank is seen as an important precedent, encouraging other central banks to continue buying gold to preserve their assets. While tensions have eased since the start of the year, global uncertainty remains three times higher than the historical average, and flows into gold ETFs remain very stable.
