Gold prices ended the second quarter of 2023 down more than $80, their worst performance since the third quarter of last year. However, as of today's session, gold has managed to " save itself" from a more significant sell-off, as prices remain firmly above the psychologically important $1,900/ounce level.
According to TG&VN at 9:30 p.m. on July 4 (Vietnam time), the gold price was trading at 1,928.2 USD/ounce, up 6.5 USD compared to the previous session . The gold price for August delivery also increased 0.36% to 1,936.4 USD/ounce.
Lower-than-expected US economic data released on July 3, including the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), supported gold prices. In addition, the market has shown some positive signs, the downward trend of gold is slow and steady, no longer sudden and steep. Importantly, gold prices have held the threshold of $1,900/ounce. Traders will continue to closely monitor US labor market data to see if previous interest rate hikes have slowed the economy.

Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA, said there could be significant technical selling. He noted that one of the reasons for the gold rally is that the market has yet to price in two Fed rate hikes. Market sentiment suggests that some traders are betting that recent weak U.S. economic data could prompt the Fed to rethink its interest rate strategy.
But the minutes of the Fed's June meeting, due later on July 5, could signal a hawkish stance, as has been the case with recent comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. According to the CME Fedwatch tool, investors see a nearly 90% chance of a 25 basis point rate hike by July 2023. High interest rates discourage investment in gold, which pays zero interest.
Domestic gold prices increased slightly at some businesses nationwide. A notable phenomenon is the fluctuation of gold jewelry, with the selling direction increasing sharply. In particular, the difference between buying and selling prices widened, for example, at Bao Tin Minh Chau Company, the difference between buying and selling prices increased to 1.12 million VND/tael; at Doji, it was 1.45 million VND/tael.
The central exchange rate on July 4 announced by the State Bank was 23,804 VND/USD, down 1 VND compared to yesterday. The USD exchange rate at commercial banks was traded around 23,470 VND/USD (buy) and 23,840 VND/USD (sell).

Gold price is difficult to predict
There is reason why gold prices are unlikely to fall below the key $1,900 level, despite two possible interest rate hikes this year, said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone . “I am surprised at how resilient gold has been to the moves in the U.S. bond market,” Weston said.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s message of at least two more interest rate hikes this year has been echoed throughout the market, sending gold lower and pushing the dollar higher. But the fact that prices have not fallen below $1,900 an ounce shows the resilience of the gold market.
Meanwhile, Expert Sean Lusk, Director of Walsh Trading, predicts that if gold fails to hold the support level of $1,900/ounce, it will likely fall to $1,850/ounce and then to $1,814/ounce. In a worse scenario, if gold fails to hold the $1,814/ounce level, a drop to $1,720/ounce is possible.
Some experts believe that gold prices are stuck around $1,900/ounce. In the near future, gold is unlikely to break out due to a series of impacts from the economy and monetary policy. Not only that, gold is unlikely to increase in price because any recovery of the precious metal will face pressure to take profits or cut losses to get money back from investors.
Meanwhile, from another perspective, some people believe that, after a series of negative economic data in recent times, the price of gold is still holding steady above 1,900 USD/ounce. That proves the ability of the gold market to recover in the near future.
