Ms. Nguyen Thanh Mai (Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi) - a customer who came to buy gold rings at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street - shared: "This morning, I came when they opened and saw few people coming to buy rings, much less than in the past few weeks.
The store is still selling gold rings, so you don't have to wait like usual, so you can buy quickly. I just bought 5 taels of gold."
Mr. Ta Quang Lam (Hai Ba Trung district, Hanoi) also just bought a gold ring at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong street.
"This morning, the store here sells a maximum of 2 taels of gold rings per person, so I was able to buy 1 tael. The transaction was also very quick because there was no need to queue in long lines like a few days ago," said Mr. Lam.
