Gold prices decrease


SJC gold price dropped 0.08% to VND67 million ($2,853.43) per tael Monday morning.

Gold ring price fell by 0.09% to VND56.65 million per tael. A tael equals 37.5 grams or 1.2 ounces.

Globally, gold prices edged lower on Monday for a second consecutive session, as investor focus shifted to central bank meetings for clarity on their rate-hike strategies that may shed light on whether progress has been made in taming inflation, Reuters reported.

Spot gold was down 0.1% at $1,980.89 per ounce, as of 06:13 GMT. U.S. gold futures were flat at $1,990.20.

Gold is highly sensitive to rising interest rates, which raise the opportunity cost of holding non-interest bearing bullion.

“Some firming in U.S. Treasury yields following last Friday’s flash PMI data are keeping the downward pressure on gold prices,” said Yeap Jun Rong, a market analyst at IG.

Gold prices dropped by more than 1% on Friday after the release of surveys that showed the U.S. and euro zone business activity gathered pace in April.

The CME FedWatch tool shows that markets are pricing in an 88.6% chance of a 25-basis-point hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve at its May 2-3 meeting.

“While the Fed’s rate expectations have remained well-anchored thus far, further resilience in economic conditions over the coming weeks could brew speculations for another rate hike in June or push back against the timeline of rate cuts, which will be headwinds for the non-yielding yellow metal,” IG’s Yeap said.
