Bringing gold from Dien Chau to Vinh City to sell, Ms. Nguyen Thi TH said: “After consulting the prices, I found that the gold price in Vinh was 700,000 VND/tael higher than in Dien Chau, so I brought it here to sell. The gold is the savings of my two children working abroad. I used to buy it for 52 million VND/tael, but now I can sell it for more than 60 million VND/tael. I want to sell it when I have a profit and also to buy land for my two children in town.”
Large gold shops in Dien Chau, Yen Thanh, Do Luong... last week also recorded an increase in the number of people coming to trade, mainly to sell. "Only sophisticated investors consider and calculate according to forecasts of gold price fluctuations to decide whether to buy or sell. As for people, most of them hoard gold, or when they need money, they have to sell, or when they see a profit, they sell. Last week, gold prices continued to increase, so people brought gold to sell for profit. On the contrary, at this time, after a period of suspension, weddings are starting to "enter the season", sogold jewelry,"Round rings and wedding rings are also more popular," said Ms. Nguyen Thi Than, owner of a gold shop in Do Luong town.

Now, after a week of continuous increase,SJC gold bar priceThe listed price at gold shops is fluctuating around 61 million to 61.5 million VND/tael (selling) and 59.5 million to 60.2 million VND/tael (buying). The 9999 round ring costs 5.4 million VND/tael and buys 5.23 million VND/tael.
With the buying and selling price range being widened by businesses to nearly a million VND/tael, and the domestic gold price being higher than the world price by a record 8-9.5 million VND/tael, most people only sell to make a profit, not to buy for investment.
According to experts, the sharp increase in domestic gold prices and the large difference compared to the world prices as at present is not normal. Gold prices can decrease at any time, therefore, this is not the right time for people to choose gold as an investment channel./.
