Global gold prices hovered around 4651.3 USD per ounce on the international market, with recent headlines noting a softer tone in the past 24 hours as US yields rise and the USD strengthens. The price is essentially unchanged from the previous day and shows similar levels from seven days ago, creating a stable backdrop for the domestic market quoted in Vietnamese dong per tael.
In the Vietnamese domestic market, different gold categories are quoted with explicit buy and sell levels. For example, 416 (10K) gold is bought at 50,790,000 VND/tael and sold at 60,690,000 VND/tael, with the Previous day and 7 days ago sell values both at 60,690,000 VND/tael and 30 days ago data not reported. 585 (14K) trades at buy 75,450,000 VND/tael and sell 85,350,000 VND/tael, with Previous day and 7 days ago sell levels at 85,350,000 and 30 days ago not reported. 610 (14.6K) buys 79,100,000 and sells 89,000,000 VND/tael, with the same Previous day and 7 days ago sell values at 89,000,000. 680 (16.3K) buys 89,310,000 and sells 99,210,000 VND/tael, with Previous day and 7 days ago sell values at 99,210,000. 750 (18K) buys 99,530,000 and sells 109,430,000 VND/tael, with Previous day and 7 days ago sell values at 109,430,000. The 30 day data is not reported for these bullion grades.
For jewelry and branded pieces, the data show higher price levels. 99% gold jewelry is bought at 138,240,000 VND/tael and sold at 144,440,000 VND/tael, with Previous day and 7 days ago levels at 144,440,000. 99.99% jewelry is bought at 140,900,000 VND/tael and sold at 145,900,000 VND/tael, with Previous day and 7 days ago levels at 145,900,000. PNJ 999.9 plain ring trades at 143,400,000 VND/tael for buy and 146,900,000 VND/tael for sell, with Previous day and 7 days ago levels at 146,900,000. SJC bullion is quoted at 144,000,000 VND/tael for buy and 147,000,000 VND/tael for sell, with Previous day and 7 days ago levels at 147,000,000. As with the bullion grades, 30 day data is not reported for these categories.
Across the board, the price structure shows a clear premium for higher karat and branded pieces relative to standard bullion. The buy-sell spread for bullion grades hovers around 9.9 million VND/tael, while jewelry and branded items display narrower margins around 5 to 6 million VND/tael. This pattern underscores stronger demand for jewelry and name brands in the domestic market while bullion remains a core anchor for price discovery in VND per tael.
The latest market news from the past 24 hours highlights a softer tone in gold prices with world prices drifting toward a two week low amid rising yields and a firmer USD, according to multiple news outlets. Domestically, prices appear relatively stable with little movement on the sell side across most categories, suggesting a measured response to global dynamics unless currency and rate moves accelerate. Investors should monitor the trajectory of US yields and the USD, as these drivers historically feed variance in the Vietnamese gold market.
