Gold prices today, February 18, 2026, continue to remain within the range of 178-181 million VND/ounce on the second day of Tet (Lunar New Year).
As of Wednesday morning (February 18, 2026), the domestic gold market recorded SJC gold prices fluctuating around 178-181 million VND/ounce, reflecting a week of notable volatility among gold trading businesses.
At SJC, the buying price at the end of the first week of February stood at 176.3 million VND/ounce. After more than a week, this was adjusted up to 178 million VND/ounce. Thus, each ounce of gold purchased since the beginning of the month has yielded a profit of approximately 1.7 million VND.
The situation at DOJI is somewhat more cautious. On February 8th, the company listed the buying price at 176.3 million VND/ounce, but by the beginning of this week, it had retreated to 176 million VND/ounce. This adjustment of approximately 300,000 VND/ounce means that investors who bought earlier are temporarily incurring slight losses.
At Mi Hong, the upward trend is more evident. From 177 million VND/ounce on February 8th, the buying price had risen to 178.5 million VND/ounce by February 18th. This increase of 1.5 million VND/ounce is enough to generate relatively positive profits for short-term transactions.
The PNJ system also recorded positive movements. The purchase price at the end of the first week of February was 176.3 million VND/ounce and has now risen to 178 million VND/ounce. The difference of 1.7 million VND/ounce reflects the corresponding investment efficiency for early participants.
At Bao Tin Manh Hai, the buying price on February 8th was 176.3 million VND/ounce. By February 18th, this figure had increased to 178 million VND/ounce. The profit recorded was approximately 1.7 million VND/ounce, similar to other businesses that saw significant price increases.
For Bao Tin Minh Chau, the buying price at the end of the first week of February was 176.3 million VND/ounce and was raised to 178 million VND/ounce on February 18th. Investors who bought at the old price range are currently making a profit of approximately 1.7 million VND per ounce.
Unlike most of the aforementioned businesses, Phu Quy maintained its buying price at 176 million VND/ounce this week, 300,000 VND lower than the 176.3 million VND/ounce price on February 8th. This means that previous buyers are temporarily recording a corresponding loss.
