SJC Gold Bar Price Moves Against Global Trend
The domestic trend is opposite to the international market. At 9 am (Vietnam time), the precious metal was trading on the international market at $3,337 per ounce, a decrease of $5 per ounce from the previous session. When converted according to the current exchange rate, the world gold price is equivalent to about VND 107 million per tael, which is lower than the gold ring price by VND 13 million and the SJC gold bar price by more than VND 18 million.
The significant gap between domestic and international gold prices raises concerns. Some experts warn that buying SJC gold bars at this time entails risks, especially if the State Bank intervenes to increase supply and narrow the price gap. In addition, the supply of SJC gold bars at large companies is currently quite limited, while buying from the free market carries the risk of encountering fake or counterfeit gold.
