After waiting for more than an hour to buy a 5-tael round gold ring, Mrs. Mui said she was happy, even though it was still three days until God of Wealth Day (January 10), she still bought a little for luck even though the price of gold was at an unprecedented high.
Standing in a long line behind more than 50 people, Mr. Le Minh Hung (Ha Dong - Hanoi) estimated that he would wait about 2 hours for his turn to buy gold.
He said that for nearly ten years, every year he has bought 1 tael for luck. Even though the price of gold is very high, he still buys 1 tael of plain round ring.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam (Phuc Tho - Hanoi) shared that he sold three taels of SJC gold that he had saved for many years to get money to build a new house.
"The high price of SJC gold, sold this morning at 88.1 million VND/tael, is already quite profitable. Because in 2021, I bought it for only 56 million VND/tael" - Mr. Lam happily said.
Regarding the price of SJC gold bars, at Bao Tin Minh Chau store, SJC Company, Phu Quy... SJC gold at 9-11am is listed at the same buying and selling price.

SJC gold rings are listed by SJC Company at buying price of 88.1 million VND/tael; selling price of 90.1 million VND/tael.
Gold shop staff said customers buy and sell according to their needs, meaning they can buy or sell as much as they want.
In the world market, the price of precious metals set a new record when reaching the mark of 2,818 USD/ounce. The increase in gold prices was due to the demand for gold as a safe haven. Investors are worried that inflation will affect economic growth due to the US tariff policy on imported goods from China, Canada and Mexico.
