On November 20, many large gold trading brands in Ho Chi Minh City announced that they had run out of gold rings and gold bars to sell. These stores still buy normally, there is no phenomenon of not buying gold from customers.
At a gold shop on Hai Ba Trung Street (District 1), many customers looking to buy gold were unsuccessful.
“A week ago, I saw information about stores selling unlimited gold, but I didn’t have time to go buy it. Now when I go there, the staff says it’s out of stock,” said Ms. Cao Thuy Hanh (living in Binh Thanh District).
At a large gold shop on Bui Huu Nghia Street, Binh Thanh District, staff said they had no gold to sell, did not accept pre-orders or deposits, and advised customers to come back early the next day.
“I need to buy 5 taels of gold ring but the big stores said they are temporarily out of stock. I will go to smaller stores to buy it,” said Mr. Nguyen Hung (living in Binh Thanh district).
According to Dr. Nguyen Tri Hieu - economic expert - people should choose reputable stores and regularly monitor gold prices. People should allocate their investment money to other investment channels instead of putting all their eggs in one basket.
