Gold prices have been rising rapidly and continuously over the past month. Compared to the beginning of the month, domestic gold prices have increased by 6.6 million VND. This is the fastest and highest increase ever. Experts also predict that gold prices will continue to increase and reach 130 million VND.

The gold ring market also increases according to the price of gold bars, depending on each business. Bao Tin Minh Chau is currently buying at 119.8 million VND, selling at 122.8 million VND/tael; Mi Hong is currently trading at 121-122.4 million VND/tael; Phu Quy is currently priced at 119.5-122.5 million VND/tael; PNJ is listed at 119.9-122.6 million VND/tael.

According to Kitco, the world gold price recorded at 4:00 a.m. on August 27, Vietnam time, was 3,374 USD/ounce, an increase of 4.36 USD/ounce compared to yesterday. Converted according to the USD exchange rate at Vietcombank (26,530 VND/USD), the world gold price is about 107.95 million VND/tael (excluding taxes and fees). Thus, the price of gold bars is 20.05 million VND/tael higher than the international gold price.

According to Bloomberg, the main reason for the recent surge is that investors have not found a more attractive place to park their money. Some experts have expressed concern that this could be a sign of a speculative price fever, also known as "irrational euphoria", and the risk of creating a gold price bubble.

The global economic backdrop also plays a role. China’s economy is showing signs of deflation and domestic demand is not really strong. This situation could weaken businesses and make the gold price rally unstable.

However, most believe that gold is still the top safe asset. Experts believe that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will soon return to its easing policy by cutting interest rates. This often weakens the USD and creates momentum for gold prices to increase. In addition, geopolitical tensions around the world continue to push investors to seek gold as a shield to protect assets.
