The current situation shows that gold rings and gold bars are maintaining their highest levels in history. According to experts, the price of gold has exceeded many people's previous predictions. The main reason is believed to be the increasing geopolitical instability in the world, especially the new tax policies of US President Donald Trump on imported goods, along with the response measures from many countries.

World gold price hits new peak

In the international market, gold prices increased by 1% in the trading session on March 18, reaching a new record high as tensions in the Middle East escalated and the global trade situation was unstable, boosting demand for "safe haven" assets.

During this session, the spot gold price reached a peak of 3,038.26 USD/ounce, then decreased slightly and closed at 3,032.96 USD/ounce at 11:00 p.m. on March 18 (Vietnam time), up 1.05% compared to the previous session. The price of this precious metal surpassed the 3,000 USD/ounce mark for the first time on March 14.

Gold prices have increased by more than 15% since the beginning of the year, marking 14 new peaks in 2025.

Nicky Shiels, head of metals market strategy at MKS PAMP SA, said that rising tensions in the Middle East continue to be a driving force for gold prices to rise.

Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in the early hours of March 18, which came after Hamas rejected a proposal to extend the ceasefire, left more than 400 Palestinians dead.

In addition, US President Donald Trump has proposed new tariffs, including a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum effective from February 2025, along with additional sectoral tariffs scheduled to be imposed on April 2.

In the context of a volatile world economy and politics, gold continues to be considered the top safe investment channel.
