Global gold prices rose sharply to around $4,835 per ounce as tensions between the United States and Iran cooled. In Vietnam, gold prices also jumped in the morning session, with major brands increasing by about 4.5 million to 4.7 million dong per tael.
International spot gold was around $4,835 per ounce at 6:50 a.m., up 2.75% from the previous close. The move followed comments from the US President indicating that the US has received a 10-point proposal from Iran that could serve as a basis for negotiations.
Earlier, markets had feared that higher energy prices could complicate central banks’ rate cuts as inflation rose. Dallas Fed research cited in the article suggested that prolonged disruption to global oil trade could push US inflation above 4% by year-end and possibly higher in the near term.

The article also noted that gold had started the year strongly but had fallen about 10% since the Iran conflict began on February 28.
In Vietnam’s domestic market, bullion prices at SJC, PNJ, DOJI and Bao Tin Minh Chau were quoted at 174–177 million VND per tael (buy–sell), up 4.5 million from the previous session. Opening prices in the morning session were unchanged from the close on April 7, with bullion at 169.5–172.5 million VND per tael (buy–sell) and jewelry at 169–172 million VND per tael.
The article said Bao Tin Minh Chau had not published new price boards yet, continuing to quote jewelry bullion at 168.3–171.3 million VND per tael and bullion at 169.5–172.5 million VND per tael.
The article linked the price rise to cooling US-Iran tensions and the prospect of negotiations, while also highlighting that expectations around energy-driven inflation and central bank rate cuts remain key factors influencing gold demand.
