Domestic gold prices today increased strongly. However, according to Bao Tin Minh Chau, the number of customers coming to trade is relatively stable, the number of customers coming to buy accounts for 55% and the number of customers coming to sell accounts for 45%.

At a time when gold prices are rising, experts advise investors and people to be cautious in investing and trading.

Bao Tin Minh Chau representative advised that gold price increased dramatically this morning, so investors and people should consider before trading and regularly monitor gold price on official channels to make the most correct decision.

Ms. Uyen Huong (Hoang Mai, Hanoi ) shared that gold is an investment asset, but also a defensive asset. Because in 2023, among investment channels such as: Securities, real estate... gold is the safest investment channel even though this investment channel is less profitable. In 2024, domestic gold prices tend to increase due to the influence of world gold prices. Therefore, investors can choose the time to invest to make a profit.

Gold prices are increasing, should we invest in gold at this time?

According to experts' analysis, world gold prices tend to increase because the US Federal Reserve (FED) has sent a message that they may stop raising interest rates, or even reduce interest rates. In the second quarter of 2024, and at the latest in the third quarter of this year, the FED will reduce interest rates. In the case of a rate cut, the value of the USD will decrease, and usually when the USD decreases, the price of gold will increase. The price of gold at this time can reach 2,100 USD/ounce. Therefore, domestic gold prices can also increase accordingly.

Gold prices are difficult to predict, but are likely to increase only in the short term and will be difficult to maintain this upward momentum in the medium and long term. Therefore, experts recommend that investors should only choose times when gold prices are less hot to invest and use idle money to buy gold, and invest in gold for the long term.

Notably, according to analysis from experts, domestic gold prices in the coming time will be strongly affected by the State Bank's proposals to the Government regarding the adjustment of Decree 24. Therefore, if investors and people want to invest in gold, they should wait a little longer.
