World gold prices have approached the peak

The decrease of 31 USD/ounce in world gold price is equivalent to 984,000 VND/tael. Converted according to the exchange rate listed at the bank, the world gold price is equivalent to 105.9 million VND/tael.

The world gold price has fluctuated strongly in the past week. At the beginning of the week, the world gold price increased sharply by 100 USD/ounce to 3,430 USD/ounce, due to concerns about risks as the August 1 tariff date approached and concerns about the risk of financial market instability when US President Donald Trump continuously put pressure on the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve (FED) to reduce interest rates.

However, after reaching the 3,430 USD/ounce mark, the world gold price fell more than 110 USD/ounce due to profit-taking pressure and ended the trading week at 3,338 USD/ounce.

Expert Tran Duy Phuong commented that with the decrease of more than 110 USD/ounce, the upward trend of world gold prices has broken.

According to Mr. Phuong, the world gold price has dropped sharply because the US has continuously reached trade agreements with partners such as Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines... and the possibility of reaching another agreement with the EU has cooled down the trade war. This has caused the gold price to drop sharply in 3 consecutive trading sessions.

Besides, the world gold price also decreased because investors also transferred capital to the stock market and the USD increased again.

The factor supporting gold prices in recent times has been tariffs, but now tariffs are in their final stages, while world gold prices are approaching their peak after increasing by more than 700 USD/ounce since the beginning of 2025.

"The possibility of the world gold price falling by about 50% of the increase, or about 350 USD/ounce, to 3,000 USD/ounce. However, in the short term, the gold price will still fluctuate up and down," Mr. Phuong commented.

According to analysts, next week the market will be watching the news from the FED meeting. However, the possibility is that the FED will keep interest rates unchanged at the meeting on July 31. Currently, the market expects the FED to cut interest rates twice this year, and this news has been consumed in the gold price.

Therefore, the world gold price will only increase if the FED signals that it will cut interest rates more than twice. The possibility is that the world gold price will increase slightly to the 3,350 USD/ounce area early next week before decreasing at the end of the week.

Domestically, SJC gold bar price today is listed at 121.1 million VND/tael for selling, 119.6 million VND/tael for buying.

The selling price of 9999 gold ring at SJC Company is 117 million VND/tael, buying price is 114.5 million VND/tael.

Currently, the difference between buying and selling prices of SJC gold bars at large companies is commonly at 1.5 million VND/tael.

Compared to the converted world gold price, the price of SJC gold bars is 15.2 million VND/tael higher, while the price of 9999 gold rings is 11.1 million VND/tael higher.
