World gold price today

World gold prices reversed and decreased early this morning, with spot gold falling $9.9 to $1,913.7 an ounce. August gold futures last traded at $1,923.8 an ounce, down $9.2 from early the previous day.

Rising bond yields pushed the precious metal lower as the factors driving gold’s rally faded. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 3.83 percent early in the morning, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets such as gold.

Experts predict that gold is at risk of falling to $1,900/ounce in the short term as the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) continue to commit to more interest rate hikes in the future to achieve the goal of price stability.

The latest US macro data has strengthened the case for a Fed rate hike. Specifically, the Conference Board report showed that the consumer confidence index rose to 109.7 in June, the best level since January 2022. This pushed the recession forecast further away, supporting another 25 basis point increase by the Fed. Other data, including a surge in new home sales in May, also strengthened the case for the Fed to raise interest rates in the future.

According to the CME FedWatch tool, there is a 77% chance that the Fed will raise rates by another 25 basis points in July. “We assess that the July hike will be significantly lower than we previously forecast,” the economists said.

In Europe, ECB President Christine Lagarde warned that inflation is now in a new phase and could persist for some time, signaling more rate hikes to come. "Unless there is a material change in the outlook, we will continue to raise interest rates in July," Lagarde said.

The market is forecasting the ECB's final interest rate will be 4%, which means there could be another rate hike in the summer and another in the fall.

Despite the most aggressive tightening of monetary policy in decades over the past year, central banks have yet to achieve price stability. A recent OMFIF survey found that rising prices were among the top three short-term economic concerns for 85% of central banks this year. “Not a single respondent expects inflation to fall to target in major economies over the next 12-24 months,” the report said.

This week, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath said that while inflation has come down significantly, inflation in the services sector remains high and is expected to take longer to return to target.

The gold market is now awaiting comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at the ECB's annual policy conference in Sintra, Portugal. Expectations of further rate hikes, especially in the US, are likely to continue to weigh on the gold market, according to an analyst at Commerzbank. Central bankers, including Powell, are likely to continue to strike a more hawkish tone at the Sintra meeting.

In this environment, gold is at risk of falling below $1,900 an ounce, said Edward Moy, senior market analyst at OANDA. “Gold has been pretty bad since early May and if expectations for the Fed to continue its aggressive tightening path increase, that could push gold down to $1,900 an ounce,” Moya said.

With the domestic gold price decreasing and the world gold price listed at Kitco at 1,913.7 USD/ounce (equivalent to nearly 54.7 million VND/tael if converted at Vietcombank exchange rate, excluding taxes and fees), the difference between domestic and world gold prices is currently over 12 million VND/tael.
