Despite optimism among many investors, analysts say gold prices today are difficult to predict as they have yet to break above the 4,800 USD per ounce level. As of the morning of April 5, SJC-branded gold bars were quoted by major Vietnamese dealers such as SJC, PNJ, Bao Tin Minh Chau, and Mi Hong at 171.5 million VND per tael for buying and 174.5 million VND per tael for selling, up 1.7 million per tael from the end of last week. Likewise, gold bars and 99.99% purity jewelry were trading around 171.3–174.3 million VND per tael (buy-sell), up about 1.7 million per tael. Other brands including Bao Tin Minh Chau and Bao Tin Manh Hai were selling plain gold bars at lower levels, at 169.5 million and 172.5 million VND per tael respectively (buy-sell). Domestic gold prices rose for the second consecutive week as global prices advanced sharply last week. At the close of trading, international gold was at 4,678 USD per ounce, up 183 USD per ounce (roughly 5.8 million VND per tael). World price conversion: Gold price on the world market, converted at the posted exchange rate, stood at about 148.7 million VND per tael, about 25.8 million VND per tael lower than domestic SJC and jewelry prices. The premium gap has narrowed from roughly 30 million VND per tael in previous days. In a Kitco survey on Wall Street, 15 analysts responded; 27% forecast higher prices next week, 20% forecast lower, and 53% expected a range-bound movement. Among individual investors, 61 participants were more optimistic: 59% expect gold to rebound, 21% forecast further declines, and 20% expect prices to move sideways. However, participation was noticeably lower than in prior weeks. Adam Button, currency strategist at Forexlive.com, said that while gold remains challenged in the near term, long-term demand for the precious metal is strengthening. As tensions in the Middle East ease, gold could rally as physical demand remains robust. Meanwhile, CPM Group analysts recommend clients stay out for 1–2 weeks, forecasting prices could move between 4,100 and 4,850 USD per ounce. Although there are reasons for gold to rise, financial markets remain unsettled and volatile, and the precious metals have retraced, increasing short-term risk. Currently, the world price converted at the quoted exchange rate is about 148.7 million dong per tael, lower than domestic SJC and jewelry prices by around 25.8 million dong per tael. The spread has narrowed from about 30 million dong per tael in previous days. Source: Thai Phuong
