World gold price today May 26, 2025 and world gold price fluctuation chart in the past 24 hours

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:30 am today, Vietnam time, was at 3,358.12 USD/ounce. Today's gold price remained unchanged compared to yesterday but increased by 159.45 USD/ounce compared to last week. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,130 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 109.75 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 11.25 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

On the evening of May 24, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting of the Government Standing Committee to discuss the management of the gold market. At the meeting, the Prime Minister pointed out many prominent issues in recent times such as the large gap between domestic and international gold prices, hoarding and price manipulation by some businesses, complicated smuggling activities and lax management in some places.

Faced with this situation, the Prime Minister requested the State Bank to urgently reduce the difference between domestic and international gold prices to about 1-2%, instead of over 10% as it is now. In addition, there should be solutions to increase supply, limit speculative demand, tighten inspection, and strictly handle acts of smuggling, speculation, and price inflation that cause market instability.

The Prime Minister also requested urgent amendments to Decree 24/2012/ND-CP on gold trading management according to simplified procedures, to be completed in June 2025. In the long term, the Government plans to study the establishment of a gold trading floor so that people can freely trade and buy and sell. At the same time, it is necessary to clearly separate the role of state management from gold production and trading activities.

Earlier this week, the world gold price had an interesting development when it increased by nearly 5% as many investors began to doubt the safety of global bonds. The main reason came from investors looking for alternative safe assets, when confidence in the USD and US bonds began to decline.

It all started late last week, when Moody's downgraded the US sovereign debt rating. In the final minutes of trading that week, gold broke through a key resistance level of $3,200 an ounce. By the end of this week, the precious metal continued to rise in price to over $3,300.

Midweek, demand for gold unexpectedly surged after the US Treasury Department’s unsuccessful 20-year bond auction. This event caused a domino effect, pushing the 30-year bond yield above 5%. At the same time, the US dollar also fell, hitting a three-week low of 99 points.

Gold prices have also benefited from the turmoil in the US, with analysts warning that rising bond yields in Japan could upset the yen carry trade, leading to liquidity problems globally. In this context, gold is increasingly asserting its position as a preferred safe haven asset.

The week will start late due to the Memorial Day holiday on Monday (May 27), but the market will still receive a series of important economic data that can have a strong impact on gold prices. On Tuesday, investors will pay attention to the US durable goods orders report for April and the consumer confidence index for May. On the same day, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will make its monetary policy decision.

On Wednesday, the Fed releases the minutes of its May meeting. Thursday is a busy day with jobless claims, a preliminary report on first-quarter GDP growth and pending home sales. Later in the week, the core PCE index is released. All are important indicators of the health of the US economy.

Gold Price Forecast

With the implementation of the latest directive of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the domestic gold price is expected to suddenly decrease sharply despite signals from the world market. Currently, the difference between gold price and the world price is up to more than 10%, so a short-term price decrease is inevitable.

Bullish sentiment is returning to the gold market, with both Wall Street analysts and retail investors expecting gold prices to continue rising next week after a recent impressive rally, according to the latest Kitco News Gold Survey.

Kitco's survey of 16 Wall Street financial professionals found that none had a bearish forecast. Of those, 13, or 81%, predicted gold prices would rise. The remaining three said prices would stay the same, and none said they would fall. In the online survey of 245 retail investors, 63% said they expected gold prices to continue rising. Another 21% said prices could fall, while 16% said they expected gold to be stable next week.

Mr. Rich Checkan, Chairman and CEO of investment consulting firm Asset Strategies International, assessed that gold prices are in the process of accumulation and preparing to break out. According to him, the main reason is that Moody's has just downgraded the credit rating of US government bonds, combined with the possibility that the US will pass a large-scale spending bill that increases the budget deficit.

Checkan also said that the rise in gold and silver prices ahead of the holidays is usually a positive sign. Times of low liquidity are also times of volatility, and investors want to be in position before that happens. The current positive sentiment shows that confidence in the gold price trend is firmly entrenched among both professionals and retail investors.

Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said that last week's close above $3,355 an ounce could mark the end of a short-term correction. However, he warned that bond market sentiment may be too bearish. "My concern is that we have reached the peak of the bond bear market, which could trigger a flight to risk assets."

Gold prices may be supported by safe-haven demand after former US President Donald Trump threatened to increase tariffs on European imports to 50% from June 1. "Today's tariff threat is a stark reminder that this trade war is not over, and the US economy will suffer the consequences - which I think is good for gold," he said.

A weaker US dollar is also supporting gold, said David Morrison, senior analyst at Trade Nation. However, he cautioned that the market is fairly neutral at the moment and that gold could move either way. While there are reasons to hold gold as a safe haven, he stressed that nothing is certain and a correction is still possible.

Some experts believe that the US Memorial Day holiday may help ease market tensions temporarily, leading many investors to take short-term profits in gold. However, in the long term, if trade tensions and economic uncertainty continue to escalate, gold can still maintain its upward momentum.
