Gold price Domestic gold prices fell as precious metals in the international market adjusted, especially after a sharp decline on October 31. Currently, each ounce of gold is anchored around 2,735 USD, down 55 USD compared to the record of nearly 2,790 USD set last week.

Gold prices have just adjusted, but experts have a relatively optimistic view. The World Gold Council (WGC) believes that gold prices will continue to rise as they receive more attention from investors. Geopolitical instability, stemming from both escalating tensions in the Middle East and the polarizing US presidential election, is also a factor supporting the precious metal. At the same time, the ongoing change in global interest rate policy will also further boost investor interest in the precious metal.

Contrary to the decline of gold, the domestic USD price today increased. The central exchange rate increased by 9 VND compared to the end of the week to 24,253 VND. With a 5% margin compared to the central exchange rate, commercial banks are allowed to buy and sell USD in the range of 23,040 - 25,465 VND.
