Gold price forecast

World gold prices are under pressure from both sides, one of which is that the US economy recovered more strongly than expected. On the other hand, the pressure on gold prices comes from the caution of central banks, including the Bank of Canada (BoC), when they are not in a hurry to loosen monetary policy in the short term.

According to preliminary data released by the US Department of Commerce, the world's largest economy's gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 3.0% in the second quarter of 2025 - a clear turning point compared to a decrease of 0.5% in the previous quarter. This figure also far exceeded experts' expectations of 2.5%, showing that the US economy is recovering better than expected.

At the same time, the Bank of Canada (BoC) also decided to keep the overnight interest rate unchanged at 2.75%, while the lending interest rate (Bank Rate) and deposit interest rates are also at 3% and 2.70%, respectively. This is the second consecutive time the BoC has decided not to change policy, despite Canada's GDP forecast to decrease by about 1.5% in the second quarter - mainly due to a reversal in exports after a sudden increase in the first quarter to avoid tariffs from the US.

As of 8:30 p.m. on July 30 (Vietnam time), according to signals from the CME FedWatch tool, the market is betting on a 57.9% chance that the FED will cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points on September 17, with a 1.8% chance that the FED will cut interest rates by 0.5 percentage points. There is only a 40.2% chance that the US central bank will keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25-4.5%/year.

In another development, the World Gold Council (WGC) said that gold consumption in India in 2025 is expected to decrease to a 5-year low, as record gold prices are reducing jewelry purchasing power, although investment demand has increased slightly.

According to Sachin Jain - WGC CEO in India, demand for gold in the world's second largest gold consumer country may fluctuate between 600 to 700 tons this year - the lowest level since 2020, down from 802.8 tons last year.

He said that if gold prices are stable, demand could reach 700 tons. However, if prices increase by 10%-15% due to geopolitical factors, consumption may decrease to the bottom of the forecast range.

So far, domestic gold prices in India have risen 28% in 2025, after rising 21% in 2024. In June, gold prices hit a record high of 101,078 rupees/10 grams.
