The 7 day level is 4045.8 USD per ounce, while the 30 day level is 4343.3 USD per ounce, indicating heightened volatility and a softer near term momentum despite a higher longer term level from the last month.

Across the domestic offerings, the spread between buy and sell prices remains notable across karat grades. The lower karat and standard bullion ranges show a current buy-sell gap around 9,900,000 VND per tael for the 10K, 14K, 14.6K, and 16.3K categories, and about the same for 18K. By contrast, jewelry and high purity formats display tighter spreads: approximately 6,200,000 VND per tael for 99 percent jewelry, about 4,000,000 VND for 99.99 percent jewelry, and around 3,000,000 VND for PNJ 999.9 plain rings and SJC bullion. These differences reflect varying liquidity and premium components within domestic demand, with higher purity products trading closer prices to one another than lower karat bars.
Market news from the past 24 hours highlights a broad narrative of cooling after a period of selling pressure. Headlines note that domestic prices have hovered near the 150 million VND per tael level in many segments, while the global price drifted lower to around 4111 USD per ounce. The combination suggests a consolidation phase, as traders weigh macro developments and currency moves against a backdrop of mixed domestic premium structures across karats and formats.
