The difference in buying and selling prices of gold bars is still maintained by businesses at a very high level, up to 2.5 million VND/tael instead of less than 1 million VND/tael in periods when the market had not fluctuated strongly.
Along with the trend, the price of gold rings of all brands also decreased simultaneously.

Analysts say the precious metals market lacks a catalyst to push prices higher. The US Federal Reserve has not provided a clear roadmap for interest rate cuts, making many investors cautious about gold.
Moreover, the USD price has been on a recovery trend in recent sessions, putting pressure on gold. The US Dollar Index (DXY) - measuring the strength of the US dollar against 6 major currencies - has increased to nearly 103.5 points, the highest level in the past 1 month.
At 4:46 p.m. on January 17 (Vietnam time), the world spot gold price was at 2,021.8 USD/ounce, down 15.2 USD/ounce compared to last night.
Converted at the current exchange rate at Vietcombank, the world gold price is over 60.2 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of SJC gold bars is 16.02 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.
