World gold price today December 24, 2024 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 2,617.26 USD/ounce. Today's gold price decreased by 2.39 USD compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate on the free market (25,860 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 81.78 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 2.72 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

World gold prices rose slightly today as investors weighed the outlook for monetary policy after the US core inflation index – the preferred measure of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) – showed a lower increase than expected last week.

The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index – the Fed’s preferred inflation measure – rose just 0.1% in November, down from a 0.2% increase in October. In the 12 months through November, the PCE index rose 2.4%, compared with a 2.3% increase in October, and still below the forecast of 2.5%.

The data reinforces expectations that the Fed will continue to cut interest rates in 2025, although Fed officials like Mary Daly have stressed that the easing will be done cautiously.

A report from Bloomberg points out that the slowing consumer price growth is a positive signal for policymakers, especially when the target of interest rate cuts in 2025 is set. Lower interest rates usually benefit gold, because it is a non-interest-bearing asset, but it acts as a safe haven in times of uncertainty.

Gold prices were supported by "covering" activity that started late last week, along with positive technical support, said Ajay Kedia, director of Kedia Commodities in Mumbai.

San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly and two other policymakers said the Fed could consider cutting interest rates next year, but said they would proceed cautiously because the policy “adjustment” phase is complete.

Rising interest rates have reduced the appeal of gold, which does not pay interest. However, Ajay Kedia said that gold has good support at $2,595 and resistance at $2,664.

Gold prices have increased by more than 25% this year and reached record highs, thanks to factors such as:

US monetary easing policy: Economic support measures from the Fed have helped gold prices rise.

Safe-haven demand: When investors are concerned about economic instability, gold becomes the top choice.

Strong buying from central banks: Many countries around the world have increased their gold reserves, contributing to the price increase.

However, gold’s rally stalled after the US presidential election as the dollar strengthened, making gold more expensive for buyers around the world.
