Recorded by Lao Dong reporter at 9:20 a.m. on March 5, at some gold shops in Hanoi, the situation of people jostling to line up in front of the store waiting to buy gold rings continued.
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. Nguyen Manh Hung (Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi) - a customer who came to buy gold rings at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street - shared: "The day before, I went to this gold shop to wait to buy but could not buy. Today I continue to come back to wait. The shop limits each person to only buy a maximum of 1 tael of gold. However, I don't know if I can buy it or not because everyone in front of me is waiting in large numbers".
Also looking to buy gold, Ms. Pham Huong Lien (Dong Da district, Hanoi) shared that owning gold rings at this time is not easy. Many people have to queue early in front of gold shops even before opening time.
"This morning, I went to the store and was informed by the staff that each person could only buy a maximum of 1 tael of gold. If customers buy retail, the store only sells 3 taels of gold rings. Currently, I am still waiting for my turn to transact" - Ms. Lien said.
