The overall domestic premium remains wide, particularly in the lower purity categories, highlighting local supply and demand dynamics.
The domestic price ladder confirms a purity premium, with lower grade gold trading significantly cheaper than higher purity pieces. For instance, 10K gold is bought at 48,550,000 and sold at 58,450,000, a spread of about 9,900,000. In contrast, SJC bars operate near 139,600,000 to 142,600,000, a tighter spread of about 3,000,000. Finished pieces such as 99 and 99.99 percent jewelry hover around the 132,900,000 to 140,500,000 buy range and 139,100,000 to 143,900,000 sell range, reflecting brand premium and retail margins. The 30 day data across categories shows relatively firm levels for the higher purity segments, even as some segments displayed softer prints today.
In the last 24 hours, market news across Vietnam has pointed to a continuation of declines in domestic gold prices, with both bullion and jewelry segments retreating and headlines noting declines up to 500,000 VND per tael. The reports cite a cautious near term outlook for the domestic market, while global prices have remained more balanced after a period of volatility. Taken together, the data suggests a soft current backdrop in the Vietnamese gold market with a watchful eye on macro policy and inflation developments in the near term.
