Gold rings still attract customers, many stores sell unlimitedly
During the National Day holiday, many Hanoi people take advantage of their free time to go to stores to buy gold rings to accumulate. Tran Nhan Tong street shows that the number of customers is not too large, transaction activities are stable and supply is guaranteed.
Customers mainly buy in quantities from a few chi, depending on financial capacity and accumulation needs. Some people say they choose to buy in installments when there is a suitable amount of money, instead of waiting for a specific market time or buying and selling in the short term.
Notably, stores were recorded to have unlimited gold sales, and also returned gold immediately after completing the transaction.
This helps buyers be more proactive during the holidays, when they do not have to queue for a long time or wait to receive gold like some market times before. See more...
