Many stores still limit the quantity of gold rings sold
Recorded by Lao Dong reporter on July 3, at some gold shops in Hanoi, the scene of people lining up to buy gold rings continues to occur.
However, most stores have announced that they do not have SJC gold bars and have limited the quantity of plain round gold rings sold. This makes it difficult for many people who want to buy gold.
Mr. Ngo Van Quang (Hai Ba Trung ward, Hanoi) - a customer who came to a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong street to buy gold rings - shared: "Last month, I also came to buy but had to wait a long time, lining up and were packed but still unable to buy. Today, I came back and found it much easier, the number of people waiting was less, so I hope this time I will be able to buy. See more...

Yen suddenly weakens
According to Lao Dong, on July 3, the Japanese Yen (JPY) suddenly traded weakly against the USD, when the USD/JPY pair returned to nearly 144.00.
The main reason is that market sentiment has improved after the US and Vietnam reached a trade agreement, reducing concerns about prolonged trade tensions, thereby reducing the need to hold the Japanese Yen as a safe haven channel.
In addition, US President Donald Trump has just threatened to impose higher tariffs on imported goods from Japan, specifically increasing the tax to 30-35% compared to the current 24%, if Japan does not buy US rice. This information has put the Yen under further selling pressure. See more...
