Recorded by Lao Dong reporter today (March 12), the price of gold bars and plain rings was adjusted up by brands. Despite bad weather, many people still choose to queue in front of gold shops to wait to buy.
However, buying gold rings at this time is still difficult. Many people have to queue up early to wait to buy because the stores limit the quantity of gold rings sold and do not announce specific opening hours.
Ms. Nguyen Phuong Mai (Dong Da District) - a customer who came to buy gold rings at a store on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi) - said: "Today's gold price has increased slightly compared to a few days ago, I planned to buy a ring for 1 tael. However, there were many people lining up in front of me, so I still had to wait.
Ms. Nguyen Thuy Linh (Hoan Kiem District) - a customer who also wants to buy gold rings - shared: "This morning, the store staff announced that each person can buy a maximum of 1 tael. Because they sold too little, not enough to meet my needs, I had to leave. A long line of people are still lining up in front, not knowing when it will be their turn to trade".
According to Ms. Linh, this is not the first time she has lined up to buy gold. Before that, she had come many times but still could not buy gold rings.
