Gold volatility persists amid US inflation and Vietnam regs

Overview

Gold prices have experienced extreme volatility throughout 2026. In September, global prices plunged to approximately 4,317 USD per ounce following higher-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data. By late September, prices faced downward pressure, trading around 4,284 USD per ounce due to rising U.S. Treasury yields and expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. In early October, international prices fluctuated between 4,135 and 4,150 USD per ounce. While weak U.S. employment data fueled expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate pause, a strong U.S. dollar and high Treasury yields continued to exert downward pressure. By late October, global prices plummeted toward the 4,000 USD/ounce mark, driven by rising energy costs fueling inflation fears and expectations of sustained high interest rates. In Vietnam, regulatory changes continue to shape the market. Effective October 16, 2026, Decree 390/2026/NĐ-CP mandates that all gold transactions valued at 5 million VND or more per day must be conducted via non-cash payment methods. This represents a significant decrease from the previous 20 million VND threshold. Additionally, the decree removes the requirement for businesses to hold a certificate of eligibility for the production of gold jewelry and fine art, while increasing oversight on tax compliance and anti-money laundering measures. Between October 27 and 28, 2026, both global and domestic markets showed signs of recovery. Globally, spot gold prices rose, reaching as high as 4,065 USD per ounce during Asian trading on October 28. This rebound was driven by declining crude oil prices easing inflation concerns and anticipation of Federal Reserve policy decisions. Domestically, SJC gold bars saw substantial increases, with selling prices reaching the 143 million VND per tael mark. Gold rings (9999) also trended upward, approaching 142 million VND per tael.
