According to Lao Dong reporters at 3 p.m. on January 26 (the 27th day of the Lunar New Year), at some gold shops in Hanoi, people's demand for gold has not decreased. However, the number of people buying gold is less than in previous days.
A survey at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi) showed that although the number of customers is still quite large, there is no longer a scene of jostling and queuing from the sidewalk to the street like on weekdays.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Quan - a resident of Hai Ba Trung district (Hanoi) shared that this afternoon the store opened for sale, each person can buy a maximum of 5 taels of gold.
"Today the buying time was faster than usual, I only had to wait about 45 minutes to buy gold. With my Tet bonus, I decided to buy gold and planned to line up early in the afternoon, so I was lucky to buy 5 taels to save for the end of the year" - Mr. Quan said.
Mr. Hoang Ngoc Truong (Ba Trieu, Hanoi) shared: I arrived at 3pm but the store had sold out so I had to go to another location to buy. According to Mr. Truong, although the number of buyers was not as crowded as previous days, the amount of gold the store sold during the day still sold out very quickly.
