Queuing from the early morning to buy silver, many people still go home empty-handed
Recorded by Lao Dong reporter on October 16, domestic silver prices continued to increase sharply. At some silver shops in Hanoi, people's demand for silver is increasing. This has caused many stores to be overloaded, limiting the amount of silver sold or temporarily suspending transactions.

At the Ancarat silver gold shop on Xa Dan street (Dong Da district, Hanoi), Ms. Bui Thi Mai (Bach Mai ward, Hanoi) said she had been present since 7:30 a.m. to queue up to buy silver.
"I arrived at 7:30 am. At around 8:30 a.m., the staff announced that each person could only buy a maximum of 5kg. About half an hour later, the goods were out of stock, many people who came later had to return" - Ms. Mai said.
Ms. Mai said that because she did not have enough silver to buy, she would continue to wait in line the next day. See more...
