World gold price today November 3, 2024 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 5:00 am today, Vietnam time, was 2,734.47 USD/Ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 17.2 USD/Ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate, on the free market (25,850 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 86.16 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 3.34 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

The world gold price has fallen sharply after reaching its peak, currently trading at 2,734.47 USD/ounce, about 1.9% lower than the peak of 2,790 USD. At the same time, the domestic gold ring price is also decreasing slightly, at 89 million VND, about 0.8% lower than the record high of 89.8 million VND on October 31.

In the context of the sharp drop in world gold prices, some long-term investors see this as an opportunity to buy if domestic gold prices also fall. However, the decrease in domestic gold rings is quite modest, not commensurate with the decline in world gold prices, disappointing those who expected a deeper drop in prices because domestic prices are still not really attractive.

The demand for gold rings remains high, especially with the trend of hoarding during volatile financial markets. This helps the domestic price of gold rings to be more stable compared to the large fluctuations in the world gold market.

World gold prices were under pressure due to the rising USD and US bond yields. However, weak US employment data increased expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would cut interest rates, which somewhat limited the decline in gold prices.

The US jobs report showed just 12,000 new jobs were created last month, the lowest since December 2020, due to the impact of hurricanes and a strike at Boeing.

Gold prices could be volatile next week as the market grapples with two major events: the US election on November 5 and the Fed's policy decision on November 6.

Alex Kuptsikevich, Chief Market Analyst at FxPro, commented that gold prices have risen for four consecutive weeks. In futures, prices have surpassed the $2,800/ounce mark, while spot prices have stopped approaching this level.

“The price increase started last October when there were the first signs of a change in monetary policy. In just thirteen months, prices have increased by 50%,” said Kuptsikevich.

“The weekly RSI has crossed 80 for the sixth time in the last 15 years. Corrections have always followed, with the lowest level being 5% in April this year. On other occasions, gold has corrected between 8% and 20%. However, the correction signal starts when the price returns from overbought territory; before this point, going against the trend is challenging because the price volatility can be very large due to short margin calls,” Kuptsikevich explained.

“Gold is consolidating,” said David Meger, director of precious metals trading at High Ridge Futures. “There’s a lot of news coming up next week, including the U.S. election on Tuesday and the Fed meeting on Wednesday, so it’s not surprising that some traders are taking profits.”

The Fed meeting ends on November 7, with interest rate markets pricing in a 100% chance of a 0.25% rate cut, boosted by a report that the US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose 2.1% in September from a year earlier, close to the Fed's 2% target.

From July to the end of October, gold prices have been hitting record highs, from $2,400 per ounce to $2,800 this week. Behind this price increase are factors such as the political situation in the Middle East, the US Federal Reserve's interest rate cut, the US election and many other uncertainties. In addition, the "fear of missing out" (FOMO) psychology also plays an important role.

Gold price forecast

Gold faced strong selling pressure on Thursday after hitting a record high, but still ended with a fourth straight monthly gain, said Rahul Kalantri, vice president of commodities at Mehta Equities.

"We will see more volatility in the coming week. There are several major events: the US election on Tuesday, the Fed meeting on Wednesday, and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Thursday. So it is not surprising that some traders will take profits. The fundamentals driving gold demand include geopolitical tensions and election uncertainty, with the market still inclined to 'buy the dips,'" said Kalantri.

"Gold has support at $2,705 and resistance at $2,795. On MCX, gold has good support at INR 77,840 and resistance at INR 79,350-79,790," Kalantri said.
