Today's gold price worldwide
According to Kitco, the spot price of gold in the world market at 4:30 AM Vietnam time today was $4,558 USD/ounce. Today's gold price increased by 0.59% compared to yesterday. Converted using the USD exchange rate on the free market (26,505 VND/USD), the world gold price is approximately 145.6 million VND/ounce (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is currently about 18 million VND/ounce higher than the international gold price.
World gold price movements over the past 24 hours.
According to Reuters, global gold prices rose as a weaker US dollar and falling crude oil eased some inflation concerns, although higher bond yields limited the precious metal's gains as investors continued to monitor developments in the Middle East conflict.
The dollar has depreciated against most major currencies, making gold bullion, which is priced in US dollars, more affordable for holders of other currencies.
"The US dollar index fell to its lowest level of the session, which is a positive factor for the gold market. In addition, crude oil prices have also declined slightly," said Jim Wyckoff, market analyst at American Gold Exchange.
US WTI and Brent crude oil futures fell by about $2 per barrel after reports citing Iranian media suggested the US might exempt Iranian oil from sanctions.
Oil prices have risen since the start of the conflict between the US and Israel against Iran, raising concerns about inflation and leading to expectations that central banks will tighten monetary policy further, rather than the previously anticipated interest rate cuts.
Gold, a traditional safe-haven asset and inflation hedge, often underperforms in high-interest-rate environments as investors shift to investments offering better returns, such as Treasury bonds.
"Rising bond yields are a negative factor for the gold and silver markets. Rising bond yields could limit upward momentum, if not add further downward pressure, on these metals in the short term," Wyckoff added.
Government bonds globally continued to fall on Monday due to soaring energy prices fueled by the Iran conflict, raising concerns about inflation and reinforcing expectations of global interest rate hikes. Yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds, which move inversely to prices, climbed to their highest level since February 2025.
Meanwhile, several banks have begun to revise down their short-term gold price forecasts due to declining investment demand, with JPMorgan being one of the first major banks to cut its average gold price forecast for 2026 to $5,243 per ounce from $5,708 per ounce.
Spot silver prices rose 2% to $77.50 per ounce, platinum edged up 0.1% to $1,975.05, and palladium fell 0.6% to $1,404.75.
