Update gold price today May 18, 2025 latest on the world market
At the time of trading at 0:00 on May 18, 2025 (Vietnam time), the world gold price recorded by Kitco was at 3,198.67 USD/ounce. Converted according to the USD exchange rate on the free market (26,110 VND/USD), the world gold price is equivalent to about 101.2 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Compared with the domestic SJC gold bar price on the same day (115.7-118.5 million VND/tael), the SJC gold price is currently about 17.3 million higher than the international gold price.
The world gold price yesterday, May 17, 2025, recorded a sharp decline, marking the worst week in the past 6 months. As of 16:33 (GMT), the spot gold price decreased by 0.9%, down to 3,210.19 USD/ounce. Overall, the gold price lost more than 3% of its value for the week, the sharpest decline since November 2024.
The main reason for the sharp decline in gold prices was the strengthening of the US dollar and positive signals from the interim trade deal between the US and China. According to Nitesh Shah, commodity strategist at WisdomTree, optimism about trade negotiations has reduced demand for gold, which is considered a safe haven asset in times of uncertainty. At the same time, the strengthening of the US dollar makes gold less attractive to investors holding other currencies.
This week, the US and China reached an agreement to temporarily reduce retaliatory tariffs imposed since April, which has improved investor sentiment in global financial markets. However, the recovery of the US dollar, with its fourth consecutive weekly gain, continued to put pressure on gold prices.
Gold hit a record high of $3,500.05 an ounce last month, buoyed by central bank buying, trade war concerns and strong investment demand. However, recent economic optimism and trade talks have dented some of the appeal of the metal.
Still, some experts say gold prices could find support in the near term. Signs of slowing inflation and weaker-than-expected economic data in the United States last week have bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again this year. Low interest rates are generally good for gold, as the precious metal does not yield interest but is seen as a safe store of value.
Despite the decline in gold prices this week, investors continued to buy on dips, suggesting that gold remains a popular asset amid uncertainty over global growth and inflation, said Tim Waterer, market analyst at KCM Trade.
Besides gold, other precious metals also recorded losses yesterday. Silver prices fell 1.2% to $32.28 an ounce, while platinum fell 0.4% to $985.30 an ounce, and palladium fell 1% to $958.56 an ounce.
In general, the gold price yesterday, May 17, 2025, on the world market was under a lot of pressure from the recovery of the USD and the optimism about global trade. However, gold still plays an important role in the investment portfolio of many investors, especially in the context of economic and inflation fluctuations.
Gold price forecast tomorrow 5/19/2025
The domestic gold price on May 19, 2025 is expected to decrease slightly, fluctuating between VND114.5 - 117.5 million/tael for SJC gold bars, closely following the world gold price trend. However, the gap between domestic and international gold prices may narrow if the State Bank continues to take regulatory measures, such as increasing inspections of gold trading enterprises. Financial expert Phan Dung Khanh commented that bringing domestic gold prices closer to world prices is a long-term goal, but it will take time to implement.
The spot gold price on Kitco on May 19, 2025 may continue its correction trend, with the expected price range ranging from 3,150 - 3,200 USD/ounce. Some of the main factors affecting the gold price include:
Risk-on sentiment: Progress in US-China trade talks, along with agreements in the Middle East, have eased fears of a recession. This has prompted money to move into riskier assets such as stocks and Bitcoin, putting pressure on safe-haven gold.
USD recovers: Improvements in US economic data, especially the ISM services index (53.5 points in February 2025), have supported the USD to increase, reducing the attractiveness of gold.
Fed interest rate expectations: Lower-than-expected PPI inflation and retail sales data in the US (PPI decreased by 0.5% in April 2025) paved the way for the possibility of a Fed rate cut. However, the current market sentiment does not clearly reflect this expectation, causing gold to temporarily lose its upward momentum.
According to Professor Thorsten Polleit (University of Bayreuth), gold prices may hit below $3,000/ounce in the short term, but the long-term uptrend is still maintained thanks to factors such as inflation, geopolitical risks and demand from central banks. Ole Hansen from Saxo Bank also agreed, emphasizing that gold needs time to consolidate before returning to the uptrend.
