Domestic gold prices on January 26, 2026 continued to break through to an unprecedented high range, leading to a sharp increase in the "profit" of buyers holding for 6 months.

In the SJC gold bar group, this morning (January 26), DOJI listed 174.5 - 176.5 million VND/tael, an increase of 54.9 million VND/tael on the buying side (from 119.6 million to 174.5 million VND/tael) and an increase of 55.4 million VND/tael on the selling side (from 121.1 million to 176.5 million VND/tael).

If buying from 6 months ago and calculating according to the difference between the selling price when buying and the current buying price, investors record a profit of about 53.4 million VND/tael. Notably, the current buying - selling difference at DOJI is 2.0 million VND/tael, higher than the level of 1.5 million VND/tael at the time of July 26, 2025.

Domestic gold has increased sharply recently mainly due to the impact of the upward momentum of the international market. World gold prices have climbed from 3,336 USD/ounce on July 26, 2025 to 5,073.1 USD/ounce on January 26, 2026, an increase of about 1,737.1 USD/ounce (about 52.07%).

However, hot rises often come with the risk of strong fluctuations when investors take profits. In fact, in January, gold prices had strong downward adjustment sessions, so the domestic market may also fluctuate rapidly if world gold reverses direction.

People need to be especially cautious, and should not rush to buy according to the psychology of "fearing missing opportunities". When the buying-selling price difference is widened to 2-3 million VND/tael, the risk of "both buying and losing" increases sharply if the price only needs to fluctuate. World gold also fluctuates very quickly; just one sharp down/adjustment in the international market can pull the domestic market down deeply, causing late buyers to suffer double losses because prices go down while the buying-selling price difference is still high.
