According to data from Gold Price, if gold buyers hold their holdings for one month, they would have made a profit of approximately $646 per ounce, equivalent to 20.7 million VND per tael (approximately 37.5 grams).

Those who bought and held gold for the past six months have seen even more impressive profits, reaching up to $975 per ounce, equivalent to 31.3 million VND per tael.

Many experts believe that early gold buyers will continue to benefit as prices are likely to reach record highs in 2026.
