Gold shop owners said that the number of customers coming to trade has increased in the past few days, especially in the buying direction. Ms. Lan Oanh, a gold counter employee at a gold shop on Cao Thang Street, said: “Since the beginning of the week, many people have brought gold to sell. Most of them are short-term investors. They bought gold last year, and sold it when they saw a profit last year. Some people buy a few taels, some buy up to tens of taels.”

Having just received payment for selling 5 taels of gold from the buying counter, Ms. Dang Thi Hong M. (Quan Bau, Vinh City) said: “I choose gold as an investment channel, so when I see the price is safe, I will sell it. When I bought it in early November 2024, the price was 84.5 million VND/tael. Currently, selling it has made a profit. I will wait for the price to drop to around 85 - 86 million VND/tael to buy it back.”

For many people, gold is an investment channel, so when they see a profit, they will sell. Many people, with the fear that the price of gold will decrease after a sharp increase, rush to sell right when the price is "at the top".

Due to the psychology of selling to take profit, in recent days, gold shops have been bustling in the buying direction. "Of every 10 people who come to the shop, 6-7 come to sell gold. In addition to gold bought for investment and storage, many people collect wedding gold, wedding jewelry, plain rings... to come to the shop to sell. On the other hand, the number of buyers is low," said Ms. Le Dung - owner of a gold shop on Cao Thang Street.
