On the global gold market, the price closed at US$2,396.6 an ounce in New York on the night of July 22, down by over $4 from the previous session. As of the morning of July 23 (Vietnam time), the spot gold price on Kitco was $2,401.49 an ounce.

At one point, the global gold price dropped below $2,400 an ounce following the announcement that President Joe Biden would not run for re-election in November. This news led to a strong increase in the US dollar, negatively impacting gold prices. Additionally, investors are cautious ahead of several important US economic reports due this week. Forex experts previously noted that if gold prices can maintain the key $2,400 an ounce level, the upward trend would continue. However, if prices fall below this level, gold could experience a deeper decline.
