According to experts, the continuous increase in domestic gold prices in recent days comes from the sharp increase in world gold prices. Domestic SJC gold prices are currently about VND13 million/tael higher than world gold prices. At the same time, world gold prices were at USD2,388/ounce, up USD12/ounce compared to the early morning of April 12. Converted according to the exchange rate, world gold prices are equivalent to VND71.8 million/tael excluding taxes and fees.

Regarding the gold market management policy, in the announcement concluding the Prime Minister's meeting No. 160 dated April 11, 2024 on solutions for gold market management in the coming time, the Prime Minister requested the State Bank to preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to focus on strictly implementing the provisions of Decree No. 24/2012/ND-CP, including immediately handling the situation of high difference between domestic gold bar prices and international gold prices, ensuring stable operation of the gold market.

On April 12, Deputy Governor of the State Bank Pham Thanh Ha said that to stabilize the market, the State Bank has prepared intervention plans and carried out inspections of gold trading activities of enterprises and credit institutions nationwide in 2022 and 2023. Accordingly, the State Bank will immediately increase the supply of gold bars to reduce the price difference between domestic and international prices.

For the market of gold jewelry and fine arts such as gold rings, the State Bank will continue to create conditions to ensure sufficient raw materials for production activities to export gold jewelry and fine arts. The State Bank will also conduct inspections, checks, and supervision according to its assigned functions, tasks, and powers; strictly handle acts of gold smuggling across the border, profiteering, speculation, and manipulation of gold prices.

In the context of the market about to be supplemented with gold supply, experts recommend that investors and people should be cautious in transactions at this time, especially when investing in gold. "The gold price is very hot, do not be hasty, put all your capital into gold investment. The upcoming amendment of Decree 24 may cause the domestic gold price to cool down, so you should not buy gold at the current peak price" - some experts recommend and advise, people can keep gold but should not be too greedy to "surf", because when the world price adjusts and the Government has closer instructions, the gold price will turn down. Instead, they should wait until the gold price adjusts down, investors will buy at a better price. But if they buy now, both the world and domestic prices are at the "peak", the risk is quite high.

If anyone is holding gold, consider selling at this time because the profit is very attractive. Don't wait too long, then the gold price will cool down.
