World gold price today July 31, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 a.m. on July 31, Vietnam time, was 3,306.26 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 11.76 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,400 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 108.64 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 12.86 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices fell sharply after a series of positive US economic data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates unchanged at its upcoming meeting. This also reduced the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates this year.

Specifically, spot gold prices fell 0.35% to the dangerous zone of 3,000 USD/ounce. US gold futures also fell 0.6% to 3,303.40 USD.

Nitesh Shah, commodity strategist at WisdomTree, said the economic data has been positive lately. Second-quarter GDP growth came in at 3%, beating the 2.4% forecast. The private employment report was also better than expected. These factors give the Fed more reason to delay cutting interest rates.

The US economy had a strong second quarter with GDP growth reaching 3%, completely erasing the 0.5% decline since the beginning of the year. This figure far exceeded the 2.5% forecast by experts, helping to reduce concerns about economic recession. This also reduced the demand for investment in gold as a safe haven asset.

The latest data from ADP shows that the US labor market is still doing well as the private sector created more jobs than expected in July. Specifically, there were 104,000 new jobs created, far exceeding the forecast of 77,000. The June figure was also revised more positively, recording only 23,000 job losses instead of 33,000 as initially reported.

The gold market is facing strong selling pressure as many central banks pause their rate-cutting cycles. Recently, the Bank of Canada (BoC) decided to keep interest rates unchanged as expected by the market. The fall in gold prices reflects cautious sentiment as central banks stop stimulating the economy. However, the prospect of low interest rates and trade risks can still support gold prices in the long term.

The Fed is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting even as US President Donald Trump repeatedly calls for a cut. Markets now see a 60% chance of a rate cut in September, down slightly from 66% before the data.

Investors are looking to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell for clues on the timing and direction of monetary policy. Shah said the more pressure from the government on Fed policy, the more likely gold prices will rise. Gold typically benefits when interest rates are low or during periods of uncertainty.

Besides gold prices, prices of other precious metals also decreased: silver decreased 1.5% to 37.61 USD/ounce, platinum decreased 1.1% to 1,380.25 USD, and palladium decreased 0.5% to 1,251.88 USD.

Gold price forecast

Gold prices are currently holding above $3,300 an ounce, but are struggling to rise further as recent trade deals between the US, Japan and Europe have eased trade war concerns, causing many investors to no longer flock to gold as a safe haven.

Geopolitical hotspots such as the Middle East, India-Pakistan or Thailand-Cambodia have also recently calmed down. As conflicts cool down, the demand for safe assets such as gold also weakens. This is one of the reasons why gold prices are unlikely to increase sharply during this time.

According to Peter Grant, senior strategist at Zaner Metals, the market is expecting the Fed to cut interest rates by about 0.5% between now and the end of the year, possibly starting in October. However, if more Fed members support easing monetary policy, the first cut could come as early as September. This is an important factor that could push gold prices up again, because gold often benefits from low interest rates.

Despite the increased optimism, Fawad Razaqzada, an analyst at City Index and FOREX.com, said the risk of a breakdown in trade talks remains, so many investors are still holding gold as a hedge.

Trade deals tend to strengthen the US dollar, making gold less attractive, but gold prices have not fallen too much because there are still doubts about the feasibility of these deals, said Edward Meir of Marex.

According to Mr. Carsten Menke, expert at Julius Baer, ​​the market is in the accumulation phase and needs a strong impetus to restart the upward momentum. At the same time, central banks are playing an important role in supporting gold prices thanks to the trend of diversifying reserves and reducing dependence on the USD.

China is a prime example, having increased its gold reserves for eight consecutive months. A survey by the European Central Bank (ECB) also found that nearly 40% of central banks cited geopolitical risks as the main reason for holding gold.

Experts from Commerzbank (Germany) believe that gold prices will continue to fluctuate within a narrow range until the Fed gives a clearer signal on the path of interest rate reduction.

The market is now awaiting the outcome of the Fed's two-day policy meeting. If the Fed makes any moves that indicate a trend towards monetary easing, gold prices may receive positive support.
