Recorded at major gold trading stores in Ho Chi Minh City, the number of customers coming to transact is no longer as crowded as before. Trading activities are stable, no longer crowded or having to register in advance like during peak periods.
Ms. Tran Linh Nga (Cho Quan ward) said: "Previously, buying gold was quite hard, sometimes I had to go to many places to buy it. Now it's easier, I can buy gold without being too limited, so I'm also more reassured.
Meanwhile, Mr. Vuong Minh Tuan (Binh Trung ward) shared that he still maintains the habit of buying gold periodically to accumulate. "When the market is open, buyers like me are more proactive, no need to wait for the time or worry about running out of stock like before" - Mr. Tuan said.
At Mi Hong Company, the number of customers coming to buy is still quite bustling. This business currently allows each customer to buy a maximum of 2 taels of gold rings, instead of just 1 tael as before.
Saigon Jewelry Company (SJC) said that people can now directly buy SJC gold bars at business points of sale, instead of having to register online as before.
