Gold prices drop, people anxiously buy and sell
Recorded by Lao Dong reporter on March 24, the domestic price of plain round gold rings and gold bars decreased sharply. At some gold shops on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi), people's demand for gold rings is increasing. Many people are willing to wait for hours to buy gold rings.
Mr. Bui Van Hoang (Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi) - a customer waiting to buy gold rings - shared: "I have been queuing since 8:30 with everyone, but it is not my turn to trade.
The employee informed that each person was allowed to buy a maximum of 4 taels of gold. However, many times, because of too many customers, at noon they reduce the amount of gold sold. For example, you can buy 2 taels in the morning, but at noon there is only 1 tael left. I don't know if there is such a situation today".
While many people are lining up to buy gold, many people are hesitant when deciding to sell. See more...
