Gold prices fell despite the heated situation in the Middle East, with the war between Israel and Iran escalating. Israel continued airstrikes deep into Iranian territory, attacking the Natanz nuclear facility, state television in Tehran, many high-ranking commanders of the Revolutionary Guard and nuclear scientists were killed.

Tehran announced a counterattack with hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones fired at cities such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Both sides caused heavy casualties.

US President Donald Trump left the G7 meeting early, calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran and stressing that Iran must end its nuclear program completely. The US has deployed additional defense assets such as aircraft carriers and tanker aircraft, deploying additional capabilities to the Middle East to protect its troops and interests.

Israel is racing to reshape the Middle East by stepping up attacks on Iran, forcing the Trump administration to play catch-up in moves that could roil global markets and alter the geopolitical balance.

Gold prices also fell due to a slight recovery in the USD, with the DXY index up 0.2% to 98.2 points.

Gold prices are struggling despite the fact that oil prices, a closely related commodity, turned around and increased sharply on the evening of June 17 (Vietnam time), up 1.3% to over $72.7/barrel. Money is also being withdrawn from cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin prices fell nearly 1% to $105,600/BTC.

Domestically, gold prices are also under downward pressure, despite the increase in the USD/VND exchange rate. Specifically, by the end of the trading session on June 17, the price of 9999 gold bars at SJC and Doji was listed at 117.6-119.6 million VND/tael (buy - sell), unchanged in both buying and selling directions compared to the previous session.

The price of gold rings decreased slightly. By the end of the afternoon of June 17, SJC announced the price of gold rings of type 1-5 at only 113.7-116.2 million VND/tael (buy - sell), down 200,000 VND in both directions.

Gold Price Forecast

Gold prices are under considerable profit-taking pressure but do not fall deeply. Bottom-fishing demand appears every time prices fall sharply.

Gold prices have been trending up every time they fall below $3,380 an ounce. The gold market was supported after news that American consumers significantly cut back on shopping spending last month.

The US Commerce Department reported that retail sales fell 0.9% in May. The data was weaker than expected, as economists had predicted a 0.5% decline.

Sluggish consumer spending could dampen economic growth, potentially prompting the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, even as inflation risks remain high.

Adam Button, senior currency strategist at Forexlive, described the US consumer sales data as difficult to assess, saying that sales surged in March amid concerns about tariffs and have fallen for two consecutive months.

One factor that could have a big impact on gold price expectations is the possibility that the Middle East could stabilize if the Israel-Iran war is somehow resolved. Investors are watching closely.

In the long term, gold remains supported by a weak US dollar and the risk of high global inflation.
