According to Lao Dong reporters' records today (January 7), the price of plain round gold rings and domestic gold bars continued to rise. At some gold shops on Cau Giay and Tran Duy Hung streets (Hanoi), many people are willing to queue to buy even 0.1 gold taels.
According to information from the store, the quantity of plain round gold rings sold is based on customer demand. People who need to buy 1, 2, 3, 5 taels of plain round gold rings will be able to "hold gold" in their hands, the larger quantity is expected to receive products on January 19, 2026.
On Cau Giay street (Hanoi), Ms. Do Thu Huong (Cau Dien ward) said: "For many consecutive days, the number of people coming to buy was large, I queued late, so I determined it would take from morning to noon to complete the transaction. Gold prices continuously increased, so I had to take advantage of buying immediately, fearing that if I waited long, the price could fall deeply as in the previous days and then quickly reverse".
Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen Minh Phong (Tay Ho ward, Hanoi) - a customer who wants to buy - said: "I arrived from 8 am, so I went to the waiting line on Monday. I plan to buy 5 taels of plain round gold rings, I don't have to wait and it will be 4 days later if I have a need to be able to transact for the next time".
And at another gold business establishment on Cau Giay street (Hanoi), the situation of long queues waiting to buy Tung - Cuc - Truc - Mai product lines with denominations from 0.1 to 2 only took place bustlingly. Even, the customers who regularly transact are the ones who write numbers to get serial numbers.
The taste of 0.1 chi selling 200 products a day makes many people queue early. Mr. Bui Tien Manh (Yen Hoa ward, Hanoi) shared: "As a young person, I haven't accumulated much, as much as I have, I will save to buy a little bit. Today I will buy 0.1 chi, both saving and having gold in hand".
At 2 pm on the same day, Ms. Tran Thu Hong (My Dinh, Hanoi) and her husband were present at a gold shop on Tran Duy Hung street, saying that while her husband parked his car, she queued up and took the number in advance so as not to lose a foothold. "Whenever it's early, they also require someone to stand directly here to distribute the number. My husband and I told each other to go early, but when we arrived, there were already many people, it was the end of the year, so transactions were more crowded.
