At the end of the trading session on July 14, the price of SJC gold bars was listed by large enterprises at 119.5-121.5 million VND/tael (buy - sell, unchanged price). The price of gold rings was also kept unchanged, listed at 115-117.5 million VND/tael (buy - sell).

According to analysts, gold prices are likely to increase this week but it is unlikely to make a breakthrough in the short term. The market is expected to move sideways due to the lack of strong supporting factors. The USD-Index - a measure of the greenback's strength against a basket of major currencies - has remained high at around 97.8 points throughout the past week. This has somewhat limited the increase in gold prices.

Market focus has now shifted to US inflation data due in the coming days, with many predicting the cost of living will rise in June amid the trade war initiated by Donald Trump.

Economists expect the consumer price index (CPI) to rise 0.25% month-on-month, or a 2.6% annual increase, according to market data platform FactSet. The core CPI, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, is forecast to rise 0.3% month-on-month and 3% year-on-year in 2024.

Risk assets could falter if inflation accelerates, delaying interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed).
