Domestic gold prices stabilized after a week of volatility, hovering around 174 million VND per tael on the selling side. SJC bullion was quoted at 171.5–174.5 million VND per tael (buy – sell), with the buying price rising by 500,000 VND per tael while the selling price remained unchanged from the previous session. Major brands including DOJI, Bao Tin Minh Chau, Bao Tin Manh Hai, and Phu Quy traded in the range of about 171–174.5 million VND per tael. Mi Hong continued to maintain a higher buying price than the average at around 172.3 million VND per tael, with selling around 174.3 million VND per tael.
In the jewelry segment, prices were also stable. DOJI recorded the highest range at approximately 171–174.5 million VND per tael. SJC and Phu Quy were commonly quoted at 170.8–174.3 million VND per tael, while Bao Tin Minh Chau and Bao Tin Manh Hai traded lower, around 169.5–172.5 million VND per tael.

On the global market, gold prices hovered around 4,600–4,700 USD per ounce, pressured by geopolitical tensions and rate expectations. Despite a weekly gain of about 3%, gold has not broken the 4,800 USD/ounce resistance level.
Next week’s performance is expected to be shaped by both supportive and headwind factors. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are still boosting safe-haven demand, while expectations for higher interest rates reduce the metal’s appeal. Analysts said gold could only rally strongly if there are signs of economic weakness that would prompt central banks to ease monetary policy.
