The Vietnamese pig farming industry is supported by a large, steady demand base, but it remains highly volatile due to price cycles and disease risks.

While global gold prices fell sharply, domestic SJC bullion and plain gold ring prices remained high in morning trading on April 7.
In the morning of April 7, SJC bullion prices quoted by SJC, PNJ and Bao Tin Minh Chau were at 170.1 million dong per tael for buying and 173.1 million dong per tael for selling, unchanged from the end of the previous day.
For 99.99% pure plain gold rings, prices varied by brand. SJC quoted plain rings at 169.6 million dong per tael for buying and 172.6 million dong per tael for selling, also unchanged from the end of yesterday. PNJ sold plain rings at 172 million dong per tael, while Mi Hong listed up to 173 million dong per tael.
Plain rings from Bao Tin Minh Chau and Bao Tin Manh Hai were traded at lower prices, with selling prices around 171.1 million dong per tael—about 2 million dong per tael below the SJC bullion selling price.

Over the past four weeks, gold has moved in line with many asset classes, reversing traditional hedging behavior after central banks intensified purchases—pushing gold to peaks above 5,600 USD/ounce by late January 2026.
Experts added that after a hot rally, corrections are normal, but factors such as large budget deficits, a weakening USD trend, and central bank diversification of reserves are expected to continue supporting gold over the long run.
