Domestic gold prices opened the week with declines across both jewelry and bullion compared with last week’s close, as global gold prices fell after stronger-than-expected US payroll data increased expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher for longer.
As of 8:45 a.m. on April 6, 2026, domestic bullion prices quoted by major firms were 170.1–173.1 million dong per lượng (buying–selling), down 1.4 million dong per lượng from the previous session.

He added that this makes the Fed less likely to cut rates quickly and reinforces the view that the labor market remains stable, supporting consumer spending—a key pillar of the economy.
