Gold prices plummet, many people take advantage of buying in
On the weekend, gold trading activities on Tran Nhan Tong street (Hanoi) took place stably, the number of customers at times increased but not too much. People mainly bought plain round gold rings and took advantage of the time when prices decreased to accumulate, instead of buying according to crowd psychology.
Some customers said they have been monitoring gold prices for many days and decided to spend money when the market adjusted. Some people bought 5 taels, while some customers only bought 1-3 taels to survey and continue to monitor price movements in the coming sessions.
Gold shops on Tran Nhan Tong street still sell goods normally, without quantity limits and return gold immediately after completing the transaction. Buyers do not have to queue for long, and transactions take place relatively conveniently even though gold prices are fluctuating. See more...
