Hạ Linh |

On October 29, domestic gold prices increased simultaneously. In Hanoi, some gold shops sell 5 taels to each buyer.

It took 5 days to buy back, people patiently waited for many hours to pick up 5 taels of gold

Recorded by Lao Dong reporter at 9:15 am today (October 29), the price of plain round gold rings and domestic gold bars increased. At the gold shop in Cau Giay, Hanoi, many people lined up from 6am but at around 10am the shop issued the first notice.

Ms. Tran Thi Xuan (Thanh Tri commune, Hanoi) traveled 13km to the gold shop. "This is the third time I have come to queue, and I have not been able to buy them before because they are late for opening time. This time it was already crowded, not knowing if I could buy it or not. I also brought breakfast to wait" - Ms. Xuan said.

According to many people lining up, instead of continuing to buy for 2-3 days as before, the number of days returned to buy has reached 5 days.

Ms. Vu Minh (Cau Giay, Hanoi) withdrew her savings to buy them many times, saying: "I have savings coins but I see too much left over because of low interest, and if I withdraw early, I will be fined. The previous time, I withdrew 2 billion VND to buy gold, after a few months of profit, I earned an additional 500 million VND. At that time, buying gold rings was 12-13 million VND/tael".

According to Ms. Minh, up to now, she has bought 4.5 taels of gold, each tael earning a profit of 1 million VND.

As for Mr. Tran Van Thong (My Dinh, Hanoi), he is willing to buy back from those who intend to sell today.

Mr. Thong shared: "Yesterday the shop allowed me to buy at least 3 taels, then increased the price to 1 tael of gold. After waiting for a long time, I came back today. If there are sellers, buyers will always have to wait in line."

After many hours of queuing, the store reported that 10 people of the 8 items were moving to the store to make transactions, each person was allowed to buy at least 5 taels of gold.
