Gold prices drop dramatically, people are tired of waiting to buy gold rings

Phương Anh |

Gold prices fell today. In Hanoi, many people tried to buy gold rings but had to leave because stores limited the quantity they sold or said they were out of stock.

According to records at 9:30 a.m. on January 7, 2025 in Hanoi, gold shops still attracted a large number of customers waiting to buy 9999 plain round gold rings. However, most shops announced that they were out of stock, temporarily stopped accepting transactions or were only open for sale during limited hours.

Customers leave because it is difficult to buy gold rings.

Mr. Ngo Huu Luan (Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi) shared that he had been to the gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong street, Hanoi many times but could only buy 3 taels of gold rings after many days of waiting.

"I need to buy 5 taels as a wedding gift. This morning I went to the store again, the staff informed me that they didn't know when it would reopen because they were out of gold rings. I had to go home and try again another day" - Mr. Luan said.

"As soon as I arrived, the staff here announced that they were not selling plain round gold rings. The previous times, I waited a long time but still couldn't buy anything, so I decided to leave," said Mr. Thai.
