Financial markets are reacting strongly to macroeconomic signals, especially data related to the labor market - an important factor affecting the monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

A weaker labor market could prompt the Fed to reconsider its path of interest rate hikes, thereby reducing the attractiveness of the dollar and boosting safe-haven demand for gold.

According to the second estimate of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the US GDP contracted by 0.1% in the first quarter of 2025. This was lower than the forecast of -0.3%, indicating a less severe decline than expected. The report emphasized that trade imbalances remained the main cause of the economic decline.

Analysts said that although the GDP contraction improved from initial estimates, the fact that the world's largest economy remained in negative growth territory was a noteworthy signal. This maintained a cautious sentiment in the market and caused investors to continue to seek gold as a safe haven.

At the end of May 28, the price of 9999 gold bars at SJC and Doji was listed at 115.5-118 million VND/tael (buy - sell), down 700,000 VND/tael in both directions compared to the previous session.

Gold Price Forecast

Citi Bank has just raised its short-term gold price forecast, expecting the precious metal to trade in the range of $3,100-3,500/ounce in the next three months, a significant increase from its May 12 forecast of $3,000-3,300/ounce.

The move comes after former President Donald Trump unexpectedly threatened to impose a 50% tariff on all imports from Europe, possibly starting June 1.

Although Mr Trump later backed off the threat, giving the European Union (EU) until July to reach a trade deal, the move has raised fresh concerns about an escalating trade war.

Citi analysts note that gold could struggle in late 2025 and through 2026 as economic activity recovers and the Fed begins to cut interest rates.

Nitesh Shah, Head of European Macro Commodity Research at WisdomTree, said it was only a matter of time before the precious metal found support and set new records.

In the latest update, Mr. Shah forecasts gold prices to reach $3,610/ounce in the first quarter of 2026.

Factors such as trade tensions, unpredictable monetary policies and uncertainties about global economic growth are expected to continue to support gold's upward momentum. Mr. Shah optimistically forecasts that gold prices could reach $4,000/ounce by the first quarter of 2026.
