World gold price today June 20, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,282 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 110.85 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 8.02 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

Gold prices fell slightly and are on track for a weekly decline as the dollar strengthened and expectations of a US interest rate cut weakened, overshadowing the positive impact of rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Specifically, the spot gold price decreased by 0.53%, for the whole week, the gold price decreased by about 2%. The US gold futures price also lost 1.4%, to 3,361.80 USD/ounce.

According to Kelvin Wong, an expert from OANDA Asia Pacific, the situation in the Middle East is currently very unpredictable. This makes traders cautious and afraid to make strong buying and selling decisions.

The White House said President Donald Trump will decide within two weeks whether to involve the United States in airstrikes between Israel and Iran, a move that could increase pressure on Tehran to return to the negotiating table. At the same time, Trump continued to call on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates more sharply, specifically by another 2.5 percentage points.

The Fed decided to keep interest rates unchanged at its recent meeting and maintained its forecast for two small cuts this year. However, analysts at ANZ Bank said that recent macro developments, especially stable bond yields and a stronger US dollar, are putting pressure on gold prices. The market is also reducing expectations for the number of rate cuts this year, as inflation remains high and the Fed is cautious in its policy.

The US dollar is on track for its biggest weekly gain in more than a month. As the dollar strengthens, gold becomes more expensive for buyers in other countries, hurting demand.

Other precious metals markets were also under pressure. Spot silver fell 2.1% to $35.61 an ounce. Palladium fell 0.8% to $1,042.04, while platinum fell 1.9% to $1,282.72, although it was still on track for a third straight weekly gain.

Gold Price Forecast

The price action of gold this week reflects the two opposing sides of modern investor sentiment. Initially, gold prices rose sharply due to the demand for safe havens in the wake of geopolitical shocks. However, the rally was short-lived as profit-taking and technical selling quickly took over, causing prices to reverse and fall.

The rapid fall of gold prices from a record opening level earlier this week to below $3,400 an ounce suggests that market sentiment can change very quickly. This suggests that investors are still hesitant, as confidence in the long-term uptrend is not yet strong enough without clearer macroeconomic support.

In the coming time, gold prices will be affected by three main factors: prolonged geopolitical developments, the US Federal Reserve's (FED) interest rate policy, and the impact of new trade policies on the global economy. These will be key factors determining the next direction of the gold market.

Despite the current decline in gold prices, the fundamentals supporting gold remain strong. Many central banks continue to buy large amounts of gold. Meanwhile, tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East show no signs of abating, keeping gold as an effective hedge against uncertainty.

Whether gold prices can reclaim their previous highs will depend on whether the current uncertainties are enough to trigger sustained demand from both institutional and retail investors. If not, this could be a short-lived rally, with markets quickly adjusting to new geopolitical developments.

On the FED side, the agency believes that inflationary pressures may increase again in the coming months, but still maintains the plan to cut interest rates twice this year as proposed in March. Chairman Jerome Powell also emphasized caution, saying that the FED will wait for more data on the economic outlook before changing policy.

According to ANZ expert Soni Kumari, the Fed's reluctance to ease monetary policy has reduced market expectations of an early interest rate cut. This has put further pressure on gold prices, because if interest rates remain high, gold will become less attractive to investors.
