On the night of January 2 (Vietnam time), the spot gold price today on the world market stood at around 2,067 USD/ounce. Gold for February 2024 delivery on the Comex New York floor was at 2,079 USD/ounce.
The world gold price on the night of January 2 was about 13.3% higher (243 USD/ounce) than at the beginning of 2023. World gold converted to the bank USD price was 61.6 million VND/tael, including taxes and fees, about 13.4 million VND/tael lower than the domestic gold price as of the end of the afternoon session on January 2.
Gold prices on the world market fluctuated around record highs while domestic SJC gold bar prices also increased quite rapidly, although they were still far from the historical peak recorded at the end of last year. The USD recovered strongly.
Domestically, the price of SJC gold bars was continuously adjusted in the first session of the new year - January 2. After many adjustments, the price of SJC gold bars increased by more than 1 million VND/tael compared to the price at the end of 2023 and returned to the threshold of over 75 million VND/tael.
Previously, on the morning of December 26, the price of SJC gold bars reached a record peak of VND80.3 million/tael (the price sold by businesses) and the difference with the converted world price at times reached VND18 million/tael. The difference between the buying and selling prices at times reached nearly VND6 million/tael.
The gap with world prices decreased rapidly and the price of SJC gold bars then dropped sharply, at times down to 71-73 million VND/tael after the Prime Minister issued urgent instructions on gold and the State Bank also voiced its readiness to intervene to stabilize the market.
However, the price of SJC gold bars increased again in the first trading session of the new year in the context of the world gold price inching up and the USD/VND exchange rate also increasing again.
The USD/VND exchange rate at Vietcombank on January 2 rose to 24,495 VND/USD (selling price), compared to 24,420 VND/USD in the last session of 2023.
USD in the international market also increased quite rapidly.
The DXY index - measuring the USD's fluctuations against a basket of six major currencies - continued to increase again on the morning of January 2 to 102.1 points, compared to below 101 points before New Year's Day 2024.
The US dollar has increased but the world gold price remains quite high. This shows that the demand for this commodity is quite large. In Asia, some countries are at the peak of gold consumption, such as India and China.
Gold Price Forecast
Despite the USD’s rise, the US currency is still in a long-term downtrend. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to cut interest rates three times in 2024.
World gold is still around the historical peak in the context of strong increase in oil price. Brent oil has reached nearly 79 USD/barrel.
Escalating tensions in the Red Sea region have also helped keep gold prices high. Investors fear a nightmare scenario where the Red Sea crisis spills over into a regional war.
Recently, experts from ANZ Bank predicted that gold prices will reach $2,200/ounce in the next 12 months. The risk of escalating tensions in the Middle East will also support this precious metal.
