Gold ring price drops, many people continue to buy
According to Lao Dong reporter on February 12, the price of plain round gold rings and gold bars in the country has decreased sharply. In Hanoi, many people continue to choose to go to gold shops to buy gold rings.
Ms. Pham Mai Chi (Hoan Kiem district) - a customer who came to buy gold rings at a store on Tran Nhan Tong street (Hanoi) - said: "The price of gold today is a little lower than a few days ago, I plan to buy 2 to 3 taels of rings. However, the store has not announced when it will be sold, so I am still waiting."
Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Hung Quang (Dong Da district, Hanoi) said: "Buying gold rings at this time is very difficult due to the large number of people waiting. Many stores also limit the quantity sold and do not clearly announce the opening time.
Today, I came early but still haven't seen them selling gold rings. If anyone wants to come and sell, they can go into the store to trade, no need to queue". See more...

Lam Dong: 129,800 VND/kg, down 200 VND/kg.
