SJC gold price exceeds 75 million VND/tael
Yesterday, the price of SJC gold increased by more than half a million VND/tael and approached the 75 million VND/tael mark even though the world gold price remained unchanged. Therefore, investors thought that this morning, SJC gold would cool down to enter a new "race". However, the opposite happened.

World gold prices continue to rise
In last night's trading session in the US market, world gold prices increased significantly when the US dollar and Treasury bond yields decreased while investors were waiting for a series of US economic data released this week that could bring more clarity on the US Federal Reserve's (FED) interest rate path.
Spot gold rose 0.6% to $2,038.59 an ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.6% to $2,052.10.
The gains were supported by a 0.4% drop in the dollar index, while the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note was hovering near its lowest level since July.
Bart Melek, head of commodity strategy at TD Securities, said investors are buying gold because there is less incentive for people to get rid of it, with the market betting the Fed will cut interest rates before it reaches its 2% inflation target.
Lower bond yields and interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said last week that the Fed’s monetary policy could be tightened, with discussion of cutting borrowing costs “on the table.” However, some Fed officials have dismissed growing market expectations for a rate cut.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, markets are pricing in about a 75% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in March.
Traders are looking ahead to a slew of U.S. economic data this week, including Friday’s release of the core personal consumption expenditures index for November, which is seen as the Fed’s preferred measure of underlying inflation. Commerzbank said in a note that it is a matter of when the Fed will cut interest rates, so we see no reason for any significant downward adjustment in gold prices in the near term.
Swiss customs data on Tuesday showed Swiss gold exports fell in November partly due to a drop in shipments to India.
Spot silver rose 1.1% to $24.03 an ounce, while platinum rose 1.3% to $957.08. Palladium rose 3.2% to $1,222.14, rising for a seventh straight session.
