Sold 7 taels of gold for a profit of nearly 100 million VND

According to records in the early afternoon of December 25, at large gold shops on Cau Giay Street and the "gold street" Tran Nhan Tong (Hanoi), the number of customers coming to trade increased sharply. In fact, at many shops, customers lined up in long lines, most of them came to sell gold to make a profit when the price of gold continued to peak.

Updating the gold price in the past few days, Ms. D.TT (residing in Phu Dien Ward, Bac Tu Liem District, Hanoi) decided to sell 7 taels of SJC gold. Buying gold at the price range of 60 - 66 million VND/tael, Ms. T. now has a big profit of 11 - 17 million VND/tael.

"The gold price exceeded 78 million VND/tael, so I decided to sell it right away. I decided to keep the gold for more than a year, now I sell it for a profit of nearly 100 million VND/7 taels," Ms. T. happily shared.

Also selling to take profit when the gold price skyrocketed, Ms. Bich (residing in Cau Giay District, Hanoi) said that today she planned to sell 1 tael of SJC gold.

She bought gold at the end of June at a price of VND66.98 million/tael. As of 3 p.m. today, if she sold it, she would have made a profit of more than VND10 million/tael, because at that time, the SJC gold price was being traded at VND77 million/tael for buying and VND78 million/tael for selling. "I constantly update the gold price, just selling and consulting the market," Ms. Bich said.

Gold prices are rising too quickly while savings interest rates are "plummeting", causing many people to want to transfer capital from banks to precious metals.

Ms. NTN (residing on Tran Binh Street, Cau Giay District, Hanoi) said that she has a savings book of 300 million VND that has just matured. If she continues to deposit it in the bank for a 12-month term today at an interest rate of about 5%/year, Ms. N. estimates that the interest she will receive is 15 million VND. Meanwhile, her recent investment in gold has a fairly good return.

"When the price of gold rings was at 58 million VND/tael in September, I spent more than 170 million VND to buy 3 taels, now the profit has increased to 12 million VND. Many forecast that the price of gold will increase next year, so I decided to transfer my savings to gold," Ms. N. shared.
