Global gold prices are trading around 4069.3 USD per ounce today, down from 4074.9 one day ago, with 7 days at 3955.8 and 30 days at 4216.3. The pattern signals a modest pullback from the immediate session while the 30-day level shows the resilience and volatility that characterizes the global bullion market, influenced by currency moves and macro data releases.
In the domestic market, prices are quoted per tael across multiple karat grades. The most visible reference is SJC gold bars trading between 138,000,000 and 141,000,000 VND per tael. Lighter karats show a wide range: 10K gold (416) buys at 48,010,000 and sells at 57,910,000 VND per tael; 14K gold (585) buys at 71,530,000 and sells at 81,430,000; 14.6K gold (610) buys at 75,010,000 and sells at 84,910,000; 16.3K gold (680) buys at 84,760,000 and sells at 94,660,000; 18K gold (750) buys at 94,500,000 and sells at 104,400,000. Jewelry grade items carry higher prices: 99% pure jewelry buys at 131,610,000 and sells at 137,810,000; 99.99% jewelry buys at 134,700,000 and sells at 139,200,000. Plain PNJ 999.9 rings are quoted at 136,300,000 buy and 140,300,000 sell; and SJC branded bullion bars at 138,000,000 buy and 141,000,000 sell. The typical spread between buy and sell ranges from about 3 to 10 million VND per tael, reflecting purity, brand and liquidity differences.
The domestic price ladder shows clear purity and branding premiums: higher purity bars and branded pieces command higher sell prices, while the corresponding buy prices indicate the cost paid to acquire metal for domestic retailers. This structure aligns with common market practice where spreads widen for lower purity and narrow for the highest purity forms, suggesting a steady demand for both investment grade bars and jewelry while wholesale bars remain the leading reference for valuation.
Market news over the past 24 hours reinforces the domestic trend. The top headlines confirm that SJC bars remain in the 138 to 141 million per tael range, with jewelry and higher purity forms following closely. World price action remains relatively stable around 4069 USD per ounce, after yesterday’s level near 4074.9 and a multiweek swing to 4216.3 in the 30-day view, underscoring ongoing global volatility that can feed into local pricing through currency and demand shifts.
