Vietnamese gold prices witnessed a surge today, with SJC gold increasing by approximately VND 600,000 per tael compared to yesterday’s rates. SJC listed gold rings at VND 77.8-79.2 million per tael. DOJI followed suit with rates of VND 77.9-79.1 million per tael. Bao Tin Minh Chau and PNJ quoted their prices at VND 77.88-79.08 million and VND 77.95-79.1 million per tael, respectively.
Meanwhile, SJC gold prices remained unchanged, holding steady at VND 78.5 million per tael for buyers and VND 80.5 million per tael for sellers.
In the international market, gold reached a historic peak at $2,568 per ounce. This surge in precious metal prices followed the latest move by the European Central Bank (ECB). ECB decided to cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points at their meeting on September 12, marking the second consecutive cut this year. The interest rates in the Eurozone currently stand at 3.5%.
Many analysts predict that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will also cut rates next week. Lower inflation and interest rates are expected to reduce bond yields, benefiting the gold and silver markets. Expectations of US rate cuts have also weakened the US dollar, which bodes well for gold and silver prices.
