At the beginning of the day, SJC gold prices remained unchanged at 80.0-82.0 million VND per tael.

The price of 9999 pure gold rings has been maintaining its record high. Specifically, at SJC Company, this type of gold is currently listed at 78.7-80.1 million VND per tael. Other prominent brands such as DOJI, PNJ, and Bao Tin Minh Chau have also raised their buying prices to around 79.3 million VND per tael, with selling prices hovering at approximately 80.4 million VND per tael.

Over the past year, gold ring prices have surged by approximately 36-40%.

In the international market, the spot gold price on September 20 continued its upward trajectory, reaching a new peak. The precious yellow metal climbed to $2,626 per ounce, the highest in history. Meanwhile, the price of gold futures for December delivery surged to $2,643 per ounce.

When converted at the current VND/USD exchange rate, the world gold price is equivalent to approximately 78.5 million VND per tael, excluding taxes and fees.

According to Kitco News, the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates triggered a wave of US dollar sell-off, causing the DXY index (measuring the strength of the USD against major currencies) to plunge to 100.5 points. Although the dollar index recovered slightly afterward.

Not only gold but the Fed’s rate cut also boosted the US stock market, pushing it to record highs.

George Milling-Stanley, head of gold strategy at State Street Global Advisors, stated that the current gold movement is a reasonable reaction to the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy decision. In June, Milling-Stanley raised his gold price forecast to range from $2,500 to $2,700 per ounce. Regarding predictions that gold will reach $3,000 per ounce, he believes it is unlikely to happen in the next 3-4 months but could be possible by early next year. Milling-Stanley sees solid potential for gold to climb to $2,700 per ounce by the end of this year.

Additionally, safe-haven demand has been driving gold prices to repeatedly break records. Tensions remain high in the Middle East, especially after the mass text message blasts in Lebanon on Tuesday. If conflicts in the region escalate further, gold and silver prices may continue to rise.
