Gold price at Bao Tin Minh Chau on March 1
Internationally, spot gold prices have just risen from $2,030 per ounce to nearly $2,050 per ounce. At 9:30 AM on March 1 (Vietnam time), international gold stood at $2,045 per ounce.
Converted at the USD/VND exchange rate at commercial banks, the international gold price is only equivalent to 61 million VND per tael (excluding taxes and fees). Meanwhile, estimated at the USD exchange rate in the free market, the international gold price is equivalent to about 63 million VND per tael (excluding taxes and fees).
Gold has risen sharply despite the DXY index measuring the strength of the USD recovering to the 104 level after the US announced inflation data with a 0.4% increase in the Consumer Price Index in February. Analysts believe that there will be no major changes in the US monetary policy, and the US Federal Reserve (FED) is expected to have difficulty cutting interest rates in March but will start in the second half of 2024.
However, many investors are still betting on gold because political instabilities are expected to continue to be a driving force in boosting the safe-haven role of precious metals.
