Many people are still waiting to buy gold rings, stores sell unlimitedly

At the end of the week on May 3rd, when domestic gold prices temporarily stabilized after many fluctuations, the market on Tran Nhan Tong street (Hanoi) was still quite bustling, especially with gold rings. However, compared to previous peak days, the number of customers has decreased significantly, no longer squeezing or queuing for a long time.

Many people take advantage of buying gold when prices go sideways, considering this a channel to accumulate long-term assets. Transactions take place smoothly when stores sell according to demand, without quantity limits and have goods available for immediate delivery, helping to shorten waiting times.

In the opposite direction, a part of the population also chooses to sell to take profits or serve personal financial needs. In general, although the market has cooled down, gold rings still maintain their appeal, reflecting the psychology of being both cautious and taking advantage of opportunities of people in the face of price fluctuations.
