According to Lao Dong reporters' records today (January 5th), the price of plain round gold rings and domestic gold bars reversed and rebounded. At a gold business store on Cau Giay street, Hanoi, many people came to queue from 6 am to ensure the opportunity to own gold in hand.
Ms. Do Thi Hoa (Xuan Phuong ward, Hanoi) chose to wait until 6 am to "certainly" buy in, said: "I queued early because for many days people have been buying in large numbers, arriving late and having to wait a long time to get to my turn. I left from 6 am but it was not until 10 am today that I finished trading 5 taels of plain round gold rings.
Similarly, Ms. Tran Thu Xuan (Cau Giay ward, Hanoi) took the opportunity to queue early to wait to buy in, sharing: "I arrived from 8 am and stood in the 10th vertical row. Transaction time is fast, only waiting time. Each time I go to buy in takes 2 hours like this, so I also accumulated enough to buy a maximum of 5 taels of plain round gold rings.
At 10 am on the same day, the store announced that it was temporarily out of gold bars and plain round gold rings, many people had to turn around and leave. In contrast to the scene of queuing to buy gold for many hours, in the selling direction, the order of transactions was only around 15 turns.
Mr. Nguyen Dang Minh (My Dinh, Hanoi) - a customer who needs to buy and has to leave - said: "I took the opportunity to pass by a gold shop to buy and store, but at 10 am the store already hung a sign announcing that gold rings and gold bars were temporarily out of stock. If I try to wait, I have to go to the next area to sit and wait, which is also very crowded. I don't have time to wait long, so I will come back tomorrow sooner.
