It is believed that buying gold on this day, when the God of Wealth returns to heaven, will bring good luck and prosperity throughout the year.
While the central bank has so far sold about 55 tons of gold bullions under SJC brand to the market, the gold powerhouse said it has run out of small-valued gold bullions as demand surged in the last 2 months.
The price gap between the local and international gold prices, after retreating for a few days, has returned to its stubbornly high rate, over VND6 million ($282) a tael
The price gap dropped some VND1 million ($47) a tael day on day after the central bank gave a bold forecast about this on the previous day
And the price gap between international and local gold bullion will be narrowed as there will be virtually no demand from the side of the local banks after all of them had finished buying over 100 tons of gold to close their local gold accounts
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has reconfirmed that its recent decree on gold management policies help the local gold market operate in a more sustainable manner than before
Despite a plunge in global gold prices, the cost of local gold bullion is still some VND6.2 million more expensive than its international counterpart
