On March 30, Lao Dong reporters' records at gold trading streets such as Mai Hac De, Tran Nhan Tong (Hai Ba Trung ward, Hanoi) showed that the trading atmosphere still maintained but was less bustling than in previous weeks. The number of people coming to buy gold showed signs of being less crowded, and waiting times decreased slightly.
At a store on Mai Hac De street (Hai Ba Trung ward, Hanoi), the number of customers entering and leaving is regular but no longer crowded like at peak times. People mainly come to buy in small quantities, mainly focusing on plain round gold rings.
Ms. Do Thu Nga (Bach Mai ward) said that this morning she decided to buy 1 chi of gold rings after a period of monitoring the market. According to her, the number of customers is still large but no longer as overloaded as in previous days. "Today the store has fewer customers, I waited about 30 minutes to start trading" - Ms. Nga shared.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ngo Van Tung (Hai Ba Trung ward) was also present early to buy 3 taels of gold. However, according to information from the store, for orders from 2 taels or more, customers will have to wait until April to receive gold. This makes some people consider more carefully before deciding to buy in large quantities.
I still bought 3 chi, and some people around lined up with me to buy 1 chi first, considering waiting for a better price before continuing to buy" - Mr. Tung said.
In the Tran Nhan Tong street area (Hai Ba Trung ward, Hanoi), the situation is also similar when the number of customers has somewhat diminished compared to before. Some people said they chose this time to complete previously placed transactions instead of buying new ones.
Ms. Nguyen Thuy Linh (Dong Anh commune, Hanoi) said that she bought 2 taels of gold from the beginning of March and was scheduled by the store to return the goods 60 days later (May 2026). However, on the 25th, 3 stores proactively contacted her to receive the gold earlier than expected. Because she had not arranged work yet, she came to pick it up today.
Even though I only came to receive gold, I still had to queue to wait for my turn. However, I see that the number of people is not as crowded as before" - Ms. Linh said. According to her, after completing the gold receipt, she has no plans to buy more during this time.
