Today's world gold price
In the global gold market, The spot gold price this morning fell compared to yesterday morning's session, listed around $4,541.2 per ounce (equivalent to VND 144.9 million per tael at the Vietcombank exchange rate, excluding taxes and fees).
Global gold prices have generally fallen by $285.1 per ounce, equivalent to a 5.91% decrease over the past 30 days.
Currently, the world gold price is approximately 19.1 million VND/ounce lower than the domestic gold price.

Gold continued to receive support from solid long-term fundamentals in the second quarter, but the market is still waiting for a clear macroeconomic trigger before the metal can break out more strongly.
In its latest quarterly precious metals outlook report, London-based brokerage firm Sucden Financial stated that high US bond yields and a strong dollar remain the main drags on gold, overshadowing the impact of geopolitical tensions and stable physical demand – factors that so far have only served as price support rather than sufficient momentum for a significant increase.
Sucden said that gold has struggled to fulfill its traditional role as a safe-haven asset despite rising geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East. Instead of encouraging investors to seek gold, recent escalations have driven up oil prices, increased inflation expectations, and pushed up US Treasury yields, all of which increase the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset like gold.
Analysts say gold is unlikely to surge until the market begins to reflect expectations of lower real yields, a weaker dollar, or clearer signals of the Federal Reserve easing monetary policy.
However, the company also emphasized that the long-term structural landscape remains very positive for gold. Gold ETF holdings remain at historically high levels despite price volatility, indicating that institutional investor participation remains fairly stable. Nevertheless, this demand currently appears to be merely limiting price declines rather than providing the impetus for a sustained strong upward trend.
Sucden said that gold prices are likely to continue fluctuating within a narrow range in the short term, with support around $4,500 per ounce. To move towards the $4,800 region, the market may need weaker economic data or clearer dovish signals from the Federal Reserve.
