According to Lao Dong on February 5, at Saigon Jewelry One Member Co., Ltd. (SJC) on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street (District 3), many customers were waiting to buy gold.
"I have a habit of buying gold after Tet to accumulate, so today I bought 1 tael of gold. People bought quite a lot, had to wait nearly 15 minutes but there was no overload like every year" - Ms. Le Thu Phuong (living in Thu Duc City) shared.
On this year's Than Tai Day, SJC Company has all kinds of gold. In particular, the gold bar gold type 1 with the image of a snake carries the message of protection, luck and overcomes challenges; or the lucky golden snake product type 1 only has a round snake wrapped around the bag of gold money...
Due to the high demand, SJC Company announced that a customer can only buy up to 0.5 taels of 9999 gold rings or 1 ta Tai gold product.
Phu Nhuan Jewelry Company (PNJ) also launched many jewelry products for the God of Wealth, such as the Kim Bao Nhu Y jewelry for female customers, with the main image of "the stick as desired" and "the four-leaf grass" made into rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets...
At Kim Dung gold shop (District 5), Mi Hong (Binh Thanh district), customers coming to transact are also bustling. In addition to plain rings, gold jewelry such as snake rings, lucky jars, a bowl of feng shui yellow... are chosen by many customers.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Ha (living in Go Vap district) said: "In the year of snakes, I prioritize buying gold products with this mascot. I buy gold to hope for a lucky year so it doesn't matter whether the price increases or decreases, just the price is reasonable for the product".
According to the owners of some gold shops, if in previous years, the market was quite quiet, only bustling on January 9 and 10, this year, many places were bustling early. This is partly due to people's concerns about the crowds and high gold prices on the day of Than Tai.
The trading session on February 5, the price of SJC gold bars was listed by large enterprises at 88-91 million VND/tael (buy - sell), an increase of 400,000 VND for buying and an increase of 900,000 VND for selling compared to the closing price yesterday.
