Gold prices soar, buy 1 tael and have to wait a whole month to get your hands on it

Phương Anh |

On April 21, gold prices continued to increase. In Hanoi, people still find it difficult to buy gold. Some people have to wait a whole month to receive gold after placing an order.

Recorded by Lao Dong reporter at 9:30 a.m. on April 21, the price of plain round gold rings and domestic gold bars continued to stay high. In Hanoi, many people continue to choose to go to gold shops to wait to buy gold.

However, many customers believe that it is very difficult to buy gold bars or gold rings at this time because gold shops limit the quantity sold.

At a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi), Ms. Dao Hong Nhung (Dong Da District, Hanoi) said:

"I arrived early today, but the shop only sold a maximum of 2 taels of gold rings per person. I am still waiting for those in front to trade. With gold bars, they often announce that they are out of stock, so people also have difficulty when they want to buy".

Also on Tran Nhan Tong street, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Manh (Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi) has just successfully ordered a tael of gold ring at a gold shop.

"The shop stipulates that only a maximum of 1 tael of gold ring is sold per person. Whoever buys 1 tael can receive it immediately. I want to buy 1 tael. The staff informed me that I had to wait until May 20 to get it. The selling price is the listed price according to the time the customer orders" - Mr. Manh said.
