Lan Hương |

Gold prices today (August 26) opened a trading session with a strong increase in the context of the USD being "disastrously" depreciated to a 3-week low after the Fed Chairman's lackluster speech.

Opening this morning's trading session (8.26), DOJI Group listed the price of SJC gold at 36.35-36.42 million VND/tael (buy in - sell out), an increase of 70,000 VND for buying and an increase of 60,000 VND for selling compared to the same time in yesterday's trading session.

The disappointing speech of Ms. J.Yellen - Chairwoman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) at the recent US Central Bank conference caused the USD to immediately plummet to the bottom of the 3-week threshold.

In his lackluster speech, Fed Chairman quan quan Yellen did not give any new signal on monetary policy. Investors are turning to gold as a safe haven, sending gold prices to their highest level since June 2017. Experts predict gold prices will continue to increase next week, however, gold will still have difficulty reaching the psychological mark of 1,300 USD/ounce.
