According to Lao Dong reporters at 12:00 on December 16, at some gold shops in Hanoi, there were no longer long lines of customers waiting to buy gold. Most of the shops announced that there were no SJC gold bars, while plain round gold rings were sold in limited quantities.
Ms. Mai Thi Lan (Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi) - a customer who came to buy gold at a store on Tran Nhan Tong Street said: "I came here at 9 am but the store said there was no product for sale. The staff said they didn't know when it would open so they advised me to go home, but to be sure, I sat here until the afternoon to see if it would open."
Also waiting, Mr. Pham Son Tung (living in Long Bien district, Hanoi) also had difficulty buying plain round gold rings.
“A few days ago, the price of gold dropped. I lined up but couldn’t buy any gold. Now, I thought that the price would increase and there would be fewer customers, so I went to buy it, but I’ve been waiting since this morning and haven’t seen any announcements about the sale. With some money, I plan to buy a few gold taels to store.” – Mr. Tung shared.
At 3:30 p.m. the same day, a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street opened for sale plain round gold rings with a limit of 3 taels per person. If a customer buys more than 5 taels, they need to sign a contract and wait 10 days to receive the goods.
An employee at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi) said: “We cannot announce the exact time of opening for sale to customers at this time. The shop only sells plain rings, there are no SJC gold bars for sale.”
