Recorded on January 14, at Bao Tin Manh Hai gold shop (Ban Co ward), from early morning there was a long line of people waiting for the store to open for transactions.
Many people said that they take advantage of buying gold before work hours, both to get good luck at the beginning of the year and to save a small amount for the new year. Meanwhile, many people are worried that gold prices will still fluctuate, and gold bars and gold rings will be difficult to buy, so they switch to choosing to buy 0.1 gold microgold 24K products just because they are suitable for their pockets and easy to accumulate.
Ms. Nguyen Thanh Loan (resident of Vuon Lai ward) shared: "This year, gold prices have fluctuated continuously, gold bars and gold rings are difficult to buy, so I chose to buy 0.1 chi gold. This type is both suitable for financial capacity and easy to save for a long time.
Having queued at another large gold shop three times but could not buy gold, Mr. Cao Bach (living in An Dong ward) said: "The demand for buying gold at this time is too high, so it is very difficult to buy gold bars and gold rings as desired. Therefore, today I switched to buying 0.1 gold products just to reduce cost pressure and conveniently accumulate gradually.
At the headquarters of SJC Company (Ban Co ward), a similar situation was also recorded. Due to limited supply, each customer is only allowed to buy a maximum of 1 tael of gold bars. The number of gold rings sold is not large, so SJC only receives about 100 customers each day to buy gold rings. For SJC gold bars, people need to register online in advance to be able to make transactions.
Saigon Jewelry Company - SJC has also just changed the operating time of business locations.
Accordingly, transactions of SJC gold bars, gold rings, and gold bar bundles at SJC headquarters at 418-420 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street are carried out from Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings and Sundays off.
SJC gold bar trading at the Jewelry Center at 172 Nguyen Van Nghi Street also has a similar time frame.
