World gold price this afternoon November 18, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 3:00 p.m. on November 18, Vietnam time, was 4,002.59 USD/ounce. This afternoon's gold price decreased by 76.17 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,388 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 127.3 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of gold bars is 22 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

The domestic market is facing a big wave as gold prices continue to fluctuate in unpredictable directions. The strong demand for hoarding and the defensive mentality in the face of global economic instability have made gold prices the center of attention.

People rushed to find a safe haven, causing the price of gold to rise more than many other assets, creating shock increases and then sharp declines. This instability caused the price of gold to both increase rapidly and decrease sharply in a short period of time.

In many recent sessions, the domestic gold price has been more than 20 million VND/tael higher than the world gold price. The imbalance between supply and demand and transactions outside the system have caused the gold price to increase too much, creating an environment for speculation, pushing up risks.

When gold prices are pushed beyond reality, the impact spreads to exchange rates, monetary policy and even investor psychology. Many who bought at the peak now face the risk of big losses as gold prices turn sharply lower today.

Today's sharp drop has caused the price of SJC gold bars to fall to a 3-week low. October saw a sharp drop when the price of gold reached 145.1 million VND/tael. Compared to the historical peak of 154.6 million VND/tael, the price of gold bars has decreased by nearly 5 million VND in less than a month. The high buying and selling margin has caused those who chased the peak of gold bar prices to lose nearly 7 million VND/tael in just a few days.

Not only gold bars, Bao Tin Minh Chau gold rings also could not escape the spiral. From the peak of 160.5 million VND/tael on October 21, the price of gold rings has lost nearly 11 million VND/tael, equivalent to a decrease of nearly 7%. The rapid fall has left many investors "unable to react".

Traders said gold prices declined due to lack of new support. The market is waiting for the US employment and income data to be released by BLS again after a delay.

The September report, due on November 20 and 21, is expected to help determine the health of the US economy. Although the data is historical, it still has a large impact on gold price trends because it is the basis for predicting the next policy move.

Gold price forecast

Global financial markets were shaken by comments from Jeffrey Gundlach, founder of DoubleLine Capital, who said US stocks were at unusually unhealthy levels and advised investors to keep at least 20% of their money in cash to avoid the risk of a crash.

This view has led to increased demand for gold price forecasts as money is likely to move to safe-haven assets. As concerns grow, investors often favor gold, making gold price forecasts a focus of many strategy reports.

The upcoming US employment data will be a key factor in determining the new direction. Many experts believe that economic fluctuations can bring support to gold, so gold price forecasts are divided into two distinct scenarios. In the event of a strong shock to the stock market, defensive money can help gold rebound quickly. Conversely, if the data shows positive signals, some gold price forecasts are inclined to the possibility of gold recovering more slowly due to pressure from interest rate expectations.

Gold prices are currently in a lackluster trend, said Dilin Wu, a strategist at Pepperstone. Weakening expectations for interest rate cuts are creating downward pressure, but concerns about a slowing US economy and debate over the Fed’s independence are supporting haven demand.

Gold prices have been showing a pattern of continuous increase and decrease, causing gold price forecasts to be divided. Some experts consider the $4,050 and $4,000/ounce areas as important support levels for upcoming corrections.

Ole Hansen of Saxo Bank remains bullish in the short term, but he believes that if stocks sell off sharply, most assets could come under pressure, with the exception of the yen. This view has led to some gold price forecasts remaining cautious for now.

James Stanley at Forex is bullish but does not expect a quick breakout. According to him, the market is entering an accumulation phase, which usually occurs in many cycles before gold price forecasts turn bullish again.

Profit-taking is on the rise after a strong run. Experts say investors should buy when prices correct to support and then watch the reaction to resistance. Most gold price forecasts see the $4,000 mark as an important area, while $3,895 is a level that could break the uptrend if gold falls below.
