Gold prices today, April 12: SJC bullion declines, reversing world price trends. Investors and analysts expect gold prices to rebound after a week of volatility. Early on April 12, SJC-branded bullion prices quoted by SJC, PNJ, Bao Tin Minh Chau stood at 169.4 million VND per tael for buying and 172.4 million VND per tael for selling, down 2.1 million per tael from the previous weekend. Likewise, gold jewelry of 99.99% purity traded around 169.1–172.1 million VND per tael (buy-sell), down about 2.2 million per tael. Domestic gold prices declined again after two weeks of gains. On the international market, gold closed the week at 4,749 USD per ounce, up roughly 70 USD per ounce from the previous weekend. The precious metal moved quite sharply over the week, briefly retreating to around 4,650 USD/ounce, then rebounding to as high as 4,850 USD/ounce, but could not sustain above 4,800 USD/ounce and fell back. A surprising development is that domestic gold prices fell over the week, contrary to the rise in world prices. The move narrowed the gap as world prices converted at the quoted exchange rate stood at about 151 million VND per tael, lower than domestic SJC bullion and jewelry by more than 21 million per tael. Analysts say gold prices face near-term pressure as the USD and crude oil retreat but remain elevated versus levels before the Middle East conflict. Gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset is gradually waning as inflation fears reemerge due to high crude prices. Nevertheless, in the latest Kitco weekly outlook survey, both analysts and investors expect further gains for gold next week. Mr. Marc Chandler, CEO of Bannockburn Global Forex, noted that gold traded near 4,857 USD on mid-week in the spot market. If gold surpasses 4,900 USD/ounce, it could improve the technical signal and potentially retest the 5,000 USD/ounce level, marking the third straight weekly gain for this precious metal. New forecast for next week indicates continued upside, supported by central banks’ gold purchases in March and ongoing demand from various countries. Technical analysis points to an uptrend resuming, with potential moves toward 5,200 USD/ounce in the near term. Thái Phương, Photo: Lam Giang Nguồn Lao Động (Vietnam News)

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
