Gold prices drop, many people leave because it is too difficult to buy

Phương Anh |

Today, domestic gold prices fell across the board. In Hanoi, many people tried to buy gold rings but had to leave because they were hard to find.

According to Lao Dong reporter at 9:20 a.m. on January 20, on Tran Nhan Tong street (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi), although the price of plain round gold rings has dropped sharply, many people still come to stores to buy them.

However, the store limited the sale of gold rings and did not announce the opening time in advance, causing many people in need to go everywhere to buy them.

Ms. Tran Thi Hoa (Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi) - a customer coming to transact at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street - said: "At this time, it is very difficult to buy gold rings at gold and jewelry stores. Many times, before I can enter the store, the staff announces that the rings are sold out. There was a time when they opened for sale 1-2 taels for one person in a day. Today, I came early to buy but I haven't seen them open yet."

Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Van Hung (living in Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi) also had difficulty finding and buying gold rings.

"At the end of the year, I wanted to buy gold rings to save money, but it was really difficult. I came here several times but couldn't buy anything. Today, I came again, but the staff just informed me that there was no specific opening time yet. So I went home and came back another day," said Mr. Hung.

Ms. Pham Lan Huong (Dong Da district, Hanoi) shared: "I have been to this store 3 times but still have not been able to buy anything. They are not open for sale today, maybe I will choose another brand to buy gold rings."

An employee at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street said: "Today the shop is out of gold rings and gold bars so we cannot open for sale to customers. As for jewelry items, we are still trading normally."
