A sharp decline in gold price has encouraged people to buy gold for stockpiling. However, as deadline for credit institutions to finalize and close gold accounts is near, the market remained cautious as the gap between domestic and global gold prices will possibly be narrowed.
This morning, domestic gold price was VND6 million a tael higher than global gold price.
In free market, dollars were bought at VND21,300-21,310 a dollar and sold at VND21,330-21,340, down VND40 per dollar compared to the previous day.
