World gold price today"Gold's increase over the past two months has exceeded the normal trend, so there may be a correction. However, I think this decline will only be short-lived and insignificant. The reasons why investors buy gold are still there, while North American investors have not increased strongly."
"Gold reached a record high of nearly 2,955 USD/ounce on February 20. However, technically, it is starting to show signs of being susceptible to a downward correction. The increase of more than 13% from the beginning of the year until now may cause investors to falter and slow down their buying momentum."
The world gold market continues to fluctuate strongly due to the impact of President Donald Trump's policies. Kitco News' latest weekly gold survey results show that industry experts are cautious about the yellow metal's short-term prospects. Meanwhile, retail traders are optimistic, with prices forecast to continue rising this week.

World gold prices increased in the context of the USD fallingFinancial markets became more concerned on Thursday due to concerns of new tariffs from the US and rising tensions between the US and Europe. In addition, the tense relationship between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy also makes the market uneasy, especially when there are signs that Donald Trump may be leaning towards Russian President Vladimir Putin in negotiations on the Russia-Ukraine war.
Gold prices delivered in April maintain a strong upward trend, with the main motivation coming from safe haven demand and speculative cash flow. Currently, the important resistance level is identified at 2,973.4 USD/ounce - the highest level just established, followed by 2,985 USD/ounce. If gold surpasses $3,000/ounce, the upward momentum could continue.
Resist : 2954 , 3000
Support : 2933 , 2900 , 2850
Gold prices are also maintaining at historic peak levelsAccording to analysis, the domestic and foreign gold markets are being strongly influenced by the forums of the US Federal Reserve (FED) and the main US trade lists.
Recently, President Donald Trump continued to announce that he could impose a 25% tax on imported cars, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals...
Investors continue to look to gold as a safe foreign channel, amid worries about international trade tensions and negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine that have not yet had positive results as expected.
The USD index remained at its lowest level in about 2 months, around 106.9 points, also supporting the rise of gold prices.
The gold market has largely recovered after the sharp sell-offGold prices have been suppressed, but this is about to end as supply is tight and gold flows out of London and the US could re-price gold.
Andy Schectman - President of Miles Franklin Precious Metals said that one of the most worrying problems in the current gold market is that it is increasingly difficult to find and buy physical gold. "Currently, the LBMA takes six to eight weeks to deliver gold - in essence, this is almost a form of default," he said.
In China, some major banks have announced they have run out of gold products due to strong demand. In South Korea, the country's mint has temporarily stopped selling gold bars because of tight supply.
The world's largest gold ETF - SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) has just withdrawn 16 tons of gold. He said this could be a sign that institutional investors are withdrawing physical gold from the fund, reflecting a loss of confidence in the "paper gold" market.
World gold continues to run out of timeGold prices today in the world February 17: Trade tensions pushed gold prices to record highs
Precious metals investors have endured a volatile week, as dismal US economic data and escalating tariff threats pushed gold prices to new record highs. However, at the end of the week, some optimistic news about the US economy and the US-Russia peace negotiations caused gold to take profit and fall sharply. The downward trend has not stopped today, gold is still trading below 2,900 USD/ounce.
Unfavorable economic data from the US has also pulled the USD down, possibly creating opportunities for commodities traded in USD. Specifically, retail sales in the US in January decreased by 0.9%, in contrast to the increase of 0.7% (adjusted from 0.4%) in December, according to an announcement from the US Census Bureau on Friday. This decrease is lower than market expectations, only -0.1%.
With this situation, although gold prices are currently trending down in the short term, unstable factors from Trump's tax policy or concerns about trade wars can still create momentum to help gold prices go up in the future, especially when the demand for safe assets increases.
Gold is in an extremely strong setupWhile a weaker USD is the main driver pushing gold prices higher, this stems from two factors, including tariff concerns and January's Producer Price Index (PPI) report.
Anxiety continues to increase after US President Donald Trump's announcement of imposing reciprocal tariffs on countries that tax imports from the US. Besides, the US has just released the January PPI index, showing that producer prices increased by 0.4% this month.
"Gold is in an extremely strong setup. As the USD strengthens, we are seeing a surge in gold buying from Asia, including central banks, retail investors, and financial funds."
FED Chairman's testimony before CongressGold prices fell from historic levels as investors evaluated Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's congressional testimony and new trade policy statements from US President Donald Trump.
Market sentiment is mainly influenced by two important developments. First, President Donald Trump's announcement on Sunday of plans to impose 25% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, with no exceptions or exemptions, has raised concerns about potential trade conflicts.
Second, FED Chairman Jerome Powell's hearing also had a big impact on market developments. In his opening speech, Mr. Powell emphasized that the FED remains cautious in cutting interest rates, citing the solid economy and inflation continuously exceeding the FED's 2% target.
Investors are closely watching Mr. Powell's two-day testimony for clues about upcoming monetary policy, especially in the context of consumer price index (CPI) data about to be released. If inflation is higher than expected, market expectations of two interest rate cuts this year could be challenged.
The decline in gold prices from record highs also reflects profit-taking activities after a strong increase since mid-December, with an increase of about 370 USD, equivalent to 14.25%. This adjustment shows that investors are taking advantage of profit-taking opportunities, while reassessing the outlook for monetary policy and trade risks.

Its trading into support which in my opinion is a decent buying opportunity. AMD also sold off below 110 and has finally reached a measured move from the start of its sell off last summer.
World gold price todayIn the international market, at 6:00 a.m. on January 24, the world spot gold price was $2,753/ounce, down $7 from the highest price in the overnight trading session of $2,760/ounce. However, the gold price later rose to a new high, around $2,770/ounce, up nearly $20/ounce compared to today.
According to Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals, recent better economic data from the US suggests that the Fed may have to delay cutting interest rates longer and the higher interest rate environment increases the opportunity cost of holding Lis gold.
This expert commented that in the US stock market, stock investors are trading very strongly, so gold is less interested.
Another factor that investors are paying attention to is that President Trump announced that he would impose tariffs on goods from the European Union and is considering applying a 10% tax on Chinese imports from February 1.
However, if these policies are considered to be inflationary, causing the Fed to maintain high interest rates for a long time, the attractiveness of gold as an inflation hedge may decrease.
Gold prices gain momentum from Trump's tariffsGold prices hit a more than 11-week high in afternoon trading on January 22, not far from last year's record, driven by safe-haven demand amid uncertainty over US President Donald Trump's trade policies and a weak US dollar.
Spot gold rose 0.3% to $2,751.89 an ounce at 12:02 (Vietnam time), after hitting its highest since November 1 earlier in the session, and nearing a record $2,790.15 an ounce set in October 2024. US gold futures also rose 0.3% to $2,768.40 an ounce.
There is still some uncertainty regarding the timing of Trump’s tariff plans with major US trading partners, which has created uncertainty about the direction of the US dollar, which is the main short-term catalyst for gold prices, said Kelvin Wong, senior market analyst for Asia Pacific at OANDA.
Gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge could be dented if Mr Trump’s policies, which are seen as inflationary, lead the US Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates for a prolonged period. Higher interest rates reduce the appeal of gold, which does not pay interest.
Gold hits key resistanceMarkets are focused on the policies of US President Donald Trump, who took office on Monday. Bloomberg reported: “Trump’s policies have caused volatility in markets, traders are heeding warnings about currencies...
Trump announced plans to impose tariffs of up to 25% on products imported from Mexico and Canada by February 1. He also promised to accelerate US energy development and lift restrictions on oil drilling in most of the US coast.
Asian and European stock markets traded mixed overnight. US stock indexes are expected to open higher and hit two-week highs when trading in New York begins.
In key overseas markets, Nymex crude oil futures fell sharply, trading around $76.00 a barrel. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury note is currently at 4.582%. There is no major US economic data due on Tuesday.
Technically, the February gold futures are tilted to the upside, giving the short-term bulls an advantage. The buyers’ objective is to push the price above the key resistance at the December high of $2,761.30. Conversely, the sellers want to push the price below the strong support at $2,650.00.
Gold is still on the riseThe euro and the pound have gained against the dollar, putting the two currencies on track for their biggest one-day gains against the dollar in more than a year. The reason is that new President Donald Trump will not impose tariffs on US trading partners on his first day in office. On the other hand, analysts say that the import tariffs that Donald Trump is expected to impose are being exaggerated. Accordingly, the dollar may continue to depreciate in the coming time, which is beneficial for the gold market.
As the dollar depreciates, gold becomes more attractive to holders of other currencies. Meanwhile, traders expect gold prices to rise even further in the future.
Gold could surge above $2,800 if Donald Trump puts his proposals into action. Persistent inflation and rising economic uncertainty as government debt continues to rise are helping push gold prices to a key resistance level above $2,700 an ounce. While gold is seeing solid gains, some analysts note that the precious metal still has a long way to go before it breaks out of a two-month consolidation.

The global economy faces many uncertainties.Gold prices rebounded overnight as Donald Trump is likely to delay imposing tariffs. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump issued a presidential memorandum directing federal agencies to investigate trade deficits and address unfair trade and currency policies from other countries. However, the directive does not include imposing new tariffs on the first day of his inauguration, which many countries have feared.
Fears of tariffs and a global trade war have significantly affected the precious metals market. Last week, gold prices rose above $2,700 an ounce, while silver prices returned above $30 an ounce, reflecting the urgency of the market.
Some analysts have attributed the rise in gold and silver prices to disruptions in the global supply chain as the precious metals are moved from London to New York. Donald Trump’s tariff threats have created huge volatility in the futures and physical asset swaps market, as banks have moved large amounts of metals to the US to avoid the risk of potential tariffs.

Gold's Reaction to Trump: Navigating the Supply Area DynamicsGold prices experienced a moderate increase on Monday, buoyed by thin liquidity in the markets as Donald Trump officially assumed office as the 47th President of the United States. The precious metal, often regarded as a safe haven, found support amidst the uncertainty surrounding the new administration's economic policies.
During Trump's inauguration speech, the U.S. dollar (Greenback) weakened, reacting negatively to his decision to set aside aggressive tariff policies that some analysts believe could otherwise lead to inflationary pressures. This shift in tone suggests a more measured approach to trade, which alleviated fears of an impending trade war—an environment generally conducive to gold's appeal. Investors began to reassess how such policy changes could impact inflation and, in turn, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance going forward.
As of the latest update, XAU/USD is trading at $2,708. Market sentiment indicates a potential short flash bearish impulse on the supply area. Traders are closely watching the $2,680 to $2,650 zone, anticipating a possible retest, which may provide an opportune moment for profit-taking, especially if market dynamics shift in favor of a stronger dollar.
From a technical perspective, this supply area will be critical for traders focusing on short-term moves. A rejection of prices at these levels combined with weaker fundamentals could signal a bearish trend ahead, offering potential short plays for those looking to capitalize on market fluctuations. Conversely, if gold holds above these levels and there is a sudden shift in risk sentiment or a renewed spike in inflation fears, we could see gold prices testing resistance levels above the current trading price.
In conclusion, with Trump taking office and the markets adjusting to his policies, gold is likely to remain volatile in the near term. Investors should keep a close watch on economic indicators and market sentiment, as these factors will heavily influence gold prices in the coming days. For now, navigating the recent price action within the supply area presents intriguing possibilities for both short and long positions, depending on how the market reacts to unfolding events.

Gold Gains Amid Low US Inflation – More Upside Ahead?
Looking at the gold price action on the 4-hour chart, I see some technical signals supporting the possibility of a price increase. Currently, the price is hovering around $2,699 and maintaining above the EMA 34 ($2,693) and EMA 89 ($2,672). This shows that the uptrend is still dominant. At the same time, the price bounced after touching near the EMA 34 in the recent session, reinforcing the important support role of this area.
The arrangement of the EMAs still supports the uptrend, with the EMA 34 above the EMA 89. This combined with the recovery momentum from technical support creates expectations that the price will test the important resistance zone at $2,728. A break of this level would open the possibility of a price increase to the $2,750 area and higher. However, it should be noted that the support zone at $2,693 (34 EMA) will be the first line of defense if the price corrects. If the price breaks this zone, selling pressure could push the price down to the $2,672 (89 EMA) zone.
Fundamentals: Lower-than-expected inflation data has reinforced expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will continue to cut interest rates, which will weaken the USD and increase the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset. At the same time, investors are still waiting for economic policy information after Donald Trump returns to the White House.
I see gold in a short-term consolidation but has the potential to bounce if it breaks the important resistance zone. Watch the $2,728 zone closely to assess the next market momentum.
Gold will have a correctionThe US core CPI was lower than expected, a positive sign for gold, increasing the likelihood that the Fed will continue to cut interest rates this year.
The market now expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 40 basis points by the end of the year, compared to around 31 basis points before the inflation data.
Meanwhile, gold is stuck in the crosshairs of Donald Trump, who is about to start his second term next week. Experts say that imposing tariffs on many types of imports could increase inflation and further limit the Fed's ability to cut interest rates.
Many believe that precious metals will have no shortage of bullish catalysts in 2025. According to Chris Mancini, portfolio manager of Gabelli Gold Fund, the main catalyst he is watching is economic uncertainty and the impact on consumer prices.
World gold price increased slightly after CPIGold prices rose sharply on the back of a fresh US inflation report that showed the pace of growth was not too hot.
Key US economic data released recently showed that the consumer price index (CPI) in December rose 2.9% year-on-year, in line with market expectations, compared to a 2.7% increase in the November report. The core CPI (excluding food and energy prices) rose slightly more than expected, rising just 0.2% compared to a forecast of 0.3% month-on-month.
US stock indexes are expected to open sharply higher in New York trading, supported by more moderate US inflation data.
In overnight news, the Japanese yen rose sharply on fresh speculation that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates at its monetary policy meeting later next week.
UK consumer prices came in slightly below market expectations, raising hopes of a resumption of rate cuts when the Bank of England meets early next month.
Will the USD pressure last?On the 4-hour chart, gold prices remain within the uptrend channel established since late December 2024. Despite the sharp corrections in the recent session, the current price ($2,670/ounce) is still above the dynamic support zone of the EMA 34 and EMA 89, indicating that the uptrend has not been broken. However, the pressure from the USD Index – which rose to a 2-year high of 109.35 points – is causing gold to lose short-term momentum.
On a closer look, the important resistance zone at $2,696/ounce, corresponding to the recent peak, has triggered strong selling pressure. Meanwhile, the RSI in previous analyses has shown signs of overbought conditions, increasing the possibility of a correction. However, the main trend line and the $2,660/ounce support zone are still acting as psychological support for the bulls.
In terms of news, the strength of the USD comes from two factors: positive US economic data and high bond yields (nearly 4.8%). These yields have attracted capital flows away from gold to invest in bonds. In addition, investors are worried about financial instability before Donald Trump returns to the White House on January 20. This uncertainty could spur some gold buying to hedge against risks, creating support for gold prices in the short term.
Personal trading strategy:
Bullish scenario: If the price holds above the $2,660/ounce support zone, I expect the price to bounce back to test the $2,696 zone. A breakout of this zone could push the price towards the target of $2,720.
Bearish scenario: If price breaks the $2,660 zone and the 89 EMA, I expect price to fall further to the $2,640/ounce support zone, or even $2,620.
Gold prices under pressure from profit takingAt the beginning of the trading session on January 13 (US time), the world gold price fell sharply due to the high demand for profit-taking in the market after the price increased continuously in recent sessions. In addition, the USD also increased sharply. The DXY index reached 109.9 points, the highest level in 2 years.
However, according to analysts, in the last sessions of last week, the gold price continuously approached the level of 2,700 USD/ounce, showing positive signals for the precious metal in the future, despite the great resistance of the recovering USD and the rising US Treasury bond yields.
It can be seen that in the context of many factors against gold, gold is supported by the hedging tool of inflation, financial market fluctuations, economic and geopolitical tensions.
The latest survey results from WisdomTree, an American asset management group, show that the main purpose of using gold in investors' portfolios is "diversification" to spread risks, helping to minimize potential risks in other investments.
Gold prices will fluctuate strongly when Trump takes officeGold prices fluctuated violently today when the USD Index reached 109.35 points, helping the value of the USD increase to its highest level in the past 2 years.
On the other hand, bond interest rates also increased to nearly 4.8%, which encouraged many people to invest in this investment channel. Since then, very little money has flowed into the gold market. Today's gold price has taken on additional disadvantages.
Under pressure from the USD and US bonds, speculators may think that holding gold is disadvantageous. Therefore, many people have sold gold to take profits. Today's gold price has naturally "evaporated" tens of USD/ounce.
Analysts say the international gold market is fluctuating unpredictably due to investors' concerns about financial stability, before Mr. Donald Trump returns to the White House on January 20.
World gold prices increased despite the high USD.Gold prices hit a near four-week high on safe-haven demand amid financial market turmoil. Investors sought safety amid concerns about Britain's finances and President-elect Donald Trump's economic policies.
In Britain, concerns about the budget deficit sent the pound to its lowest in more than a year against the dollar, with 10-year government bond yields rising to 4.92% and the FTSE 250 index falling for a third straight day, raising concerns about the risk of global financial contagion.
Meanwhile, market attention turns to Friday's US nonfarm payrolls report, which is expected to show the number of new jobs in December fell to 160,000, compared with 227,000 in November.
