Domestic gold prices continued to fluctuate strongly on December 26.

The price of SJC gold bars has temporarily stopped its strong increase, continuously setting a new historical peak - 80 million VND, the highest ever. Closing the session with an upward reversal, the price of SJC gold bars decreased in the buying direction but continued to increase by about 400,000 - 700,000 VND/tael in the selling direction.

Saigon Jewelry Company is listing the buying price at 77.2 - 79.02 million VND/tael, down 400,000 VND/tael for buying and up 400,000 VND/tael for selling.

The sharp increase in the price of gold bars shows that the demand for precious metals is not low. However, it is also impossible to ignore that in times of "price fever" and constantly increasing prices like this, businesses often increase the price of gold and increase the difference between buying and selling prices, as well as the difference with the world.

The world gold price continued to rise just before the 2024 New Year holiday, thanks to the weakening USD and US government bond yields, closing before the trading holiday at 2,060.13 USD/ounce, up 6.9 USD compared to the previous trading session. The price of gold futures for February 2024 delivery on the Comex New York floor traded at 2,064 USD/ounce.

The fluctuation of world gold prices is affected by many factors, including factors from global gold demand, currency fluctuations, interest rates and government regulations related to gold trading... In addition, macro events also affect gold prices, such as the world economic situation and the strength of the USD...

Converting gold price to the current USD exchange rate, the world gold price (including tax and processing fee) differs from the SJC gold price by about 16.2 million VND/tael.

The price of gold in the world market is still on an upward trend and is forecast to reach a new peak in 2024 when the USD is on a downward trend. This is the factor that has caused the domestic demand for gold to remain very high.

Along with the limited supply of SJC gold bars, the gap between supply and demand has pushed the domestic gold price up to 18.5 million VND/tael higher than the converted world gold price. Observers believe that the price of SJC gold bars quickly rose to 80 million VND/tael, the possibility of 100 million VND/tael is no longer as far-fetched as before.

Gold price

In a newly released forecast, Bank of America expects gold prices to rise to $2,400/ounce by 2024, based on the USD being in a downtrend and increasing instability in the world.

It can be seen that domestic gold prices are increasing faster than the world gold price. Demand for gold tends to continue to increase as the gold market prepares to end 2023 with a sharp increase in prices.

The Fed has signaled that it may cut interest rates three times in 2024. A rate cut by the Fed means a weaker USD, which in turn supports gold prices.

The Fed’s recognition of continued easing inflation pressures has increased expectations of rate cuts, sending bond yields and the dollar sharply lower, leading to a rise in gold prices, said David Meger, director of metals trading at commodities trading firm High Ridge. “We believe the current uptrend in gold is a sustainable one,” he said.

According to MarketWatch, gold prices are also being supported by central banks' demand for gold and increased physical gold demand in Asia at the end of the year.

Experts predict that gold prices may continue to rise in the short term. Colin Cieszynski, strategist at SIA Wealth Management, said that gold prices are expected to continue to rise in the near future, and investors should view the current price movements as a positive signal.

Gold prices will continue to be supported by the weakening US dollar, said Blue Line Futures strategist Phillip Streible . The recent technical breakout could push gold prices to $2,100 an ounce.

Gold prices continued to rise in the new week, after receiving weaker-than-expected US personal consumption expenditure data late last week, which confirmed the dovish rate expectations that the market had priced in, said IG market strategist Yeap Jun Rong .

“As long as the current trend in economic data holds, gold prices could be headed for another breakout of the consolidation range above $2,080,” Mr. Yeap added.
