According to Lao Dong reporter, the price of SJC gold bars and 9999 smooth round gold rings this morning decreased slightly compared to yesterday.
At a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi), many people lined up early to buy gold rings. However, many customers said that buying gold at this time is very difficult.
Efforts to buy gold despite difficulties
Ms. Nguyen Thao Vi (Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi) shared: “I have come here many times but have not been able to buy gold rings. Today, I decided to wait since the store had not opened yet. However, the staff has not announced when it will be sold. Although it is difficult, I still try to wait because I need gold for my wedding.”
In the same situation, Ms. Pham Tuyet Mai (Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi) also lined up from early morning to buy gold rings. Ms. Mai said: “Most stores do not have fixed hours for selling gold rings and limit the quantity sold. Some days they sell in the morning, other days they sell in the afternoon. Many times, before I could get into the store, the staff announced that all the gold was sold out.
I came early this morning but it was still crowded. I don't know if the store will open at noon or not."
Sharing with Lao Dong reporter, an employee at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong street said: "Currently, gold rings are very scarce. We cannot announce the opening date yet. However, for those who want to sell gold rings, the shop is still buying normally."
Despite the drop in gold prices, demand remains high, causing many stores to be overloaded. People continue to wait patiently to be able to own gold rings while supply is limited.
