Gold prices fluctuate strongly before the FED meeting
Over the past 12 months, gold futures have increased by nearly 60%, reaching a record in the session to 4,398 USD/ounce earlier this week. This is the strongest increase in decades as investors seek precious metals amid economic and geopolitical instability and confidence in institutions declining globally.
Since mid-August, gold prices have increased by 32%, causing daily fluctuations in gold and silver prices to increase sharply, while mining stocks and silver have begun to weaken relatively. This development warns that the market will enter the profit-taking stage after a series of increases for 9 consecutive weeks.
On Tuesday, gold prices fell 5.4% - the strongest daily decline since 2013, with a time of a plunge of more than 6% and dragging silver and other precious metals down.
Recent price fluctuations signal an unpredictable trading period with large opportunities, causing both buyers and sellers to be cautious after CME raised the deposit for gold contracts by 5.5% and silver by 8.5% last weekend. See more...

Domestic silver prices drop sharply, no more queues to get purchasing vouchers
On October 25, domestic silver prices fell across the board. According to Lao Dong reporters at some silver shops in Hanoi, the number of customers looking to buy is still quite large. However, there is no longer the scene of people lining up to get shopping vouchers like before.
At a gold and silver shop on Tran Nhan Tong street, Ms. Do Huong (Hai Ba Trung ward, Hanoi) said that she had come to buy silver many times but had to return because the shop was out of stock. In this comeback, she bought 5kg.
"Last week, I went but could not buy because the store only issued a certain number of coupons, while many people had lined up very early. Currently, although the number of customers is still quite large, buying silver is more favorable. The shop sells a maximum of 5 kg and will return the goods next year" - Ms. Huong said. See more...
