However, by the afternoon, this precious metal “free-fall” to nearly 79 million VND/tael.

At the opening of this morning's trading session, the market was quite quiet with an increase of 200,000 VND/tael. However, since 9am, the price of SJC gold has been continuously "jumping" on the electronic trading board. And at 9:40am, the price of SJC gold officially regained the 80 million VND/tael mark, only 300,000 VND/tael away from the all-time high.

After that, Saigon Jewelry Company – SJC also adjusted the selling price up by 800,000 VND/tael to 80 million VND/tael. The buying price of SJC gold at SJC Company is 78.30 million VND/tael. Thus, the difference between the selling price and the buying price at SJC is up to 1.7 million VND/tael.

After Doji Group and SJC Company, Bao Tin Minh Chau Gold and Gemstone Company also regained the 80 million VND/tael mark. SJC gold price at Bao Tin Minh Chau is currently listed at: 78.35 million VND/tael - 80 million VND/tael.

The last adjustment, but Phu Nhuan Jewelry Company - PNJ is having the highest selling price of SJC gold, up to 80.10 million VND/tael. The buying price is 78.30 million VND/tael. At PNJ, the difference between selling and buying prices is the highest in the market, up to 1.8 million VND/tael.

Buyers still lose 1.6 million VND/tael

Besides the fact that the price of SJC gold has increased too much or decreased too much, at this time, one of the factors that can cause a lot of risks for investors that many experts emphasize is the difference between the selling and buying prices, the difference between the price of SJC gold and the domestic gold price is too large.

Specifically, yesterday afternoon, one of the most notable points was that the "gold shops" widened the gap between selling and buying prices. If in the early morning of December 26, the difference was 1 million VND/tael, by the end of the day, this number jumped to 2 million VND/tael. Therefore, even though the gold price "only" decreased by 1 million VND/tael, buyers lost 3 million VND/tael.

By the morning of December 27, although this gap was not maintained at the record high of VND2 million/tael, it was still very large, from VND1.45 million/tael to VND1.8 million/tael. Therefore, although the price of SJC gold was increasing from VND800,000/tael to VND1.3 million/tael, investors still lost about VND1.6 million/tael.

Meanwhile, as mentioned above, SJC gold price increased by 1.3% but world gold price only increased very slightly.

Gold prices edged lower in the US overnight, supported by a weaker US dollar and lower Treasury yields on expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next year.

Spot gold rose 0.3 percent to $2,058.17 an ounce after hitting a more than two-week high of $2,070.39 in the previous session. U.S. gold futures were little changed at $2,069.40.

At the world gold price of 2,058.17 USD/ounce, the converted SJC gold price is about 61.53 million VND/tael. Thus, the SJC gold price is 18.57 million VND/tael more expensive than the world gold price. This is a record high difference in 2023. The non-SJC gold price is 2.85 million VND/tael more expensive than the world gold price.

With the difference between the selling price and buying price of SJC gold and the domestic gold price and world gold price at a record high, experts advise investors not to buy gold at this time because they face many risks.
