World gold price today
World gold prices continued to decline sharply early this morning, with spot gold falling $13.4 to $1,943.4 an ounce. August gold futures last traded at $1,956.9 an ounce, down $14 from early the previous day.
Gold markets extended weekly losses ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision as markets re-priced expectations for a rate cut on Wednesday followed by a rate hike in July.
The latest inflation report revealed a mixed outlook for the US. While the consumer price index (CPI) fell to 4% year-on-year, marking its lowest level in more than two years, the core CPI, which the Fed pays more attention to because it strips out volatile food and energy prices, fell to 5.3% from 5.5%, but was slightly hotter than expected.
Analysts remain cautious despite the cooling inflation, which opens the door to a Fed pause. Economists Sarah House and Michael Pugliese of Wells Fargo said that, given the new data, it is likely that the Fed will pause its rate hikes at its June meeting. “However, we expect Chairman Powell’s press conference and the latest summary of economic projections to signal that another rate hike remains on the cards.”
If core inflation remains in the 3% to 3.5% range by the end of this year, markets will not expect the Fed to cut interest rates anytime soon.
According to the CME FedWatch Tool, after the CPI data was released, markets were pricing in a 92% chance the Fed would pause on Wednesday and a 60% chance of a 25 basis point hike in July.

"For gold to rally, Wall Street needs to be confident that the Fed is done raising rates. This inflation report is appropriate, but some Fed members may be concerned that core price pressures persist," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA.
Analysts warn that if there is a surprise rate hike on Wednesday, gold is at risk of a broad sell-off. “A surprise rate hike is likely to trigger a sharp sell-off towards levels not reached since mid-March at $1,900 an ounce,” said FXTM senior market analyst Lukman Otunuga. “In the meantime, prices remain stuck in a range with support at $1,935 an ounce and resistance at $1,983 an ounce.”
With domestic gold prices remaining almost unchanged and world gold prices listed at Kitco at 1,943.4 USD/ounce (equivalent to nearly 55.4 million VND/tael if converted at Vietcombank exchange rate, excluding taxes and fees), the difference between domestic and world gold prices is currently about 11.6 million VND/tael.
