In the context of DOJI and SJC gold companies' stores being closed for Tet, on the 27th day of Tet (January 26), many people flocked to some stores in Ho Chi Minh City to buy gold for storage or for decoration, or as gifts for relatives...

Kim Thanh and Kim Phat I gold shops in the Go Vap market area are always crowded with dozens of customers. Most people come to these two shops to buy 3-pan, 5-pan and 1-chi gold rings. Others buy gold jewelry, bracelets and necklaces. Each gold product costs about 2-10 million VND.

Meanwhile, at gold shops in Tan Dinh market (District 1), Cau market (District 12), customers mainly look for products related to the year of At Ty (snake). Accordingly, the most notable types of gold are 1-chi gold bars and 1-chi gold coins carved with snakes, and snake gold statues ranging from 1 to 3 chi.

The selling price of these products is calculated by the price of the gold ring, plus the manufacturing cost of about 150,000 VND to several million VND/product.

Although there are quite a lot of customers coming in and out to make transactions, Ms. Han Thi Binh - owner of Kim Phat I gold shop said that purchasing power is only 30% compared to last year.

"Perhaps due to low income and high gold prices, people only buy items worth 5-10 million VND, which is consistent with the plan of businesses not to produce or trade high-value gold products," said Ms. Binh.
