This morning (February 18), the 9th day of the Lunar New Year, only one day left until the God of Wealth Day, but the gold market is quite quiet. It is noted that many large gold and gemstone companies and stores in Ho Chi Minh City have the same situation of few customers and sparse trading.
At the main store of Saigon Jewelry Company - SJC on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street (District 3, Ho Chi Minh City) is quite deserted, completely different from the bustling situation of many previous God of Wealth occasions.

Thiec Market area (District 11) is currently considered to have the highest concentration of gold, silver and gemstone shops in Ho Chi Minh City. Customers here are usually more crowded than other places, but this year's God of Wealth festival was not too busy.
