Tonight, August 27, the world gold price decreased by 13.3 USD/ounce, equivalent to 425,000 VND/tael, to 3,381 USD/ounce.

Converted according to the listed exchange rate at the bank, the world gold price is equivalent to 108.2 million VND/tael.

Yesterday, the Government issued Decree No. 232 amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 24 on the management of gold trading activities, which abolishes the State's monopoly mechanism on the production of gold bars, the export of raw gold, and the import of raw gold.

However, the domestic gold price continues to increase. SJC Company increased the selling price of gold bars by 300,000 VND/tael, to 128 million VND/tael and this price will be maintained throughout today.

The buying price of SJC gold bars is also high: 126 million VND/tael. Other gold brands such as PNJ, DOJI , Bao Tin Minh Chau also raised the price of gold bars accordingly. The difference between buying and selling prices is 2 million VND/tael.

The selling price of 9999 gold rings at SJC Company also increased by 300,000 VND/tael compared to yesterday, to 124.4 million VND/tael, buying at 119.9 million VND/tael.

Compared to the converted world gold price, the price of SJC gold bars is 19.8 million VND/tael higher. This is a very high difference and risky for gold buyers at this time.

However, in reality, in recent days, many people have been lining up to buy gold at SJC Company even though the amount of gold sold here is very limited, and the company's security guards have to give out queue numbers to buyers.

The world's largest gold ETF, SDPR Gold Trust, has been a net buyer since the beginning of the year.

Before falling tonight, the world gold price rose to a two-week high after US President Donald Trump fired a governor of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Currently, information related to the Fed is a factor that dominates the gold price at the present time.

Investors are now betting on a more than 87% chance of a 0.25% rate cut at the Fed's September meeting, according to data from the CME's FedWatch Tool. Investors are also expecting further rate cuts. So if Fed Chairman Jerome Powell takes a dovish stance on rates at the next meeting and opens the door for another cut this year, gold prices could move higher.

The world's largest gold ETF, SDPR Gold Trust, continued to buy a net 1.4 tons of gold in the third session, bringing its holdings to 959.9 tons of gold. In the first two sessions of the week, the fund bought a net 3.1 tons of gold. The fund's trend since the beginning of the year has been net buying.
