World gold price today April 29, 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 3,299.33 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 15.14 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,170 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 105.17 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 14.33 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices have fallen slightly in recent days due to signs of easing trade tensions between the US and China, while the market is waiting for a series of economic data to be released this week. Spot gold prices fell 0.46%, while US gold futures rose slightly 0.3% to $3,307.8/ounce.

Gold prices are being driven by optimism that the US and China may reach a trade deal, despite the fact that many details remain unclear, said Zain Vawda, analyst at MarketPulse at OANDA. Confidence that the impact of new tariffs will be contained has also helped global stock markets maintain their highest levels in more than three weeks.

US President Donald Trump said he had made progress in talks with China and had spoken with President Xi Jinping. However, Beijing has denied that trade talks are taking place. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also not confirmed Trump's claims that talks are underway.

The dollar index rose nearly 0.3% during the session, adding to downward pressure on gold as it becomes more expensive for buyers using other currencies. A stronger dollar often makes gold lose some of its appeal in the international market.

Asian and European stock markets had mixed performances overnight. US stock indexes are also forecast to decline slightly in today's trading session in New York. Risk-off sentiment remains in the market as the new trading week begins.

According to Fawad Razaqzada of City Index and FOREX.com, the overall trend for gold remains positive, even as its safe-haven appeal has diminished. He said that unless the market shows clear signs of lower highs, lower lows, or substantive trade deals, the likelihood of gold prices reversing course and hitting new highs is high.

A major risk highlighted by economists is the possibility of the global economy falling into recession this year, according to a Reuters survey. This will be a factor that will continue to support gold in the coming time.

This week, the market will focus on important US economic data such as the Job Openings (JOLTS) report on Tuesday, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index on Wednesday, and the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report on Friday. These figures will help investors assess the real impact of the new tariffs on the US economy.

In addition to gold, spot silver prices also fell slightly by 0.1% to $33.04 an ounce. Meanwhile, platinum prices rose 1.8% to $988.90 an ounce and palladium prices rose 0.8% to $956.35 an ounce.

Gold Price Forecast

Technically, June gold traders still hold a clear near-term advantage. The next target for bulls is a close above the strong resistance at the contract high of $3,509.90 per ounce. On the other hand, bears will aim to push prices below the strong support at $3,200 per ounce.

Initial resistance is seen at the overnight high of $3,348.20 an ounce, followed by Friday’s high of $3,384.10. Near-term support is seen at last week’s low of $3,270.80 an ounce, followed by $3,250 an ounce. Gold is currently rated 7.0 out of 10 by Wyckoff Markets.

Manoj Kumar Jain, an expert at commodity research firm Prithvifinmart, said that gold prices will continue to fluctuate strongly this week due to the USD exchange rate and ahead of the announcement of US economic data. According to Mr. Jain, gold currently has a support level around 3,300 - 3,274 USD/ounce and a resistance zone in the range of 3,358 - 3,380 USD/ounce.

The downward pressure on gold prices at the beginning of the week continued from the end of last week, when US President Donald Trump revealed that he had received a call from Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss the tariff issue. Trump appeared optimistic and said that the two sides were getting closer to a "mutually satisfactory" agreement.

However, China denied this information, asserting that no consultations had taken place. Beijing's denial slowed the decline in gold, helping the price of gold stay above $3,300/ounce at the end of last week. However, as the new week began, gold continued to be sold off strongly and lost this mark.

Financial markets and risk assets have taken a “relief” from the tariff outlook since the tense early days of April, according to Tim Waterer, an analyst at KCM Trade. He said comments from the White House last week raised hopes of a US-China deal, reducing demand for safe haven gold.

Adrian Day, chairman of Adrian Day Asset Management, said the short-term trend for gold prices is bearish, but the factors that have supported gold demand over the past year remain intact. According to him, this decline is just a short-term adjustment, partly due to signs of slowing investment flows into gold.

Gold could fall as low as $2,500 an ounce in the short term, but the long-term uptrend remains intact, said Bob Haberkorn, a broker at RJO Futures. He said optimism over a trade deal is weighing on gold. In the short term, gold could fall below $3,200 an ounce, or even as low as $3,180 an ounce, before bottom-fishing pressure returns.

On the other hand, Rich Checkan, chairman and CEO of Asset Strategies International, believes that the profit-taking trend ended last week. According to him, gold will soon turn around and return to the $3,500/ounce price range. Factors such as a weak USD, geopolitical instability, tariffs and the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) policy will continue to support the gold price increase in the coming time.
