The Doji Group listed the price of smooth round gold rings at 75.65 – 76.95 million VND per tael.
Saigon Jewelry Company listed the price of smooth rings at 74.6 – 76.3 million VND per tael.
Bao Tin Minh Chau Jewelry Company also listed the price of smooth rings at 75.38 – 76.68 million VND per tael.
The price of gold rings has been increasing for a week, although the increase is not significant, it is in line with the global gold price trend.
Meanwhile, gold bars remain unchanged at 76.98 million VND per tael for over a month, which is 1 million VND higher than the price offered by the State Bank of Vietnam to four state-owned banks and SJC.
At the same time, the global gold price is listed at 2,386 USD/ounce, equivalent to 73 million VND/tael excluding taxes and fees. Thus, the price of SJC gold bars and gold rings is only about 4 million VND/tael higher than the global market.
According to experts, in the first six months of the year, gold rings were the most efficient investment channel among stocks, bonds, USD, deposits, and government bonds. Specifically, the price of gold rings increased by nearly 22%, while SJC gold bars only rose by over 4%.
In the short term, investors can hold gold but it may not be very attractive to increase their allocation. In the long term, holding other assets is more appealing.
In the foreign exchange market, on July 8, the State Bank of Vietnam listed the central exchange rate at 24,246 VND/USD. At commercial banks, the USD exchange rate fluctuated around 25,208 – 25,458 VND/USD.
