As of the evening of April 12, SJC gold bars were quoted at 169.4 million dong per ta for buying and 172.4 million dong per ta for selling, unchanged from the morning session. Gold bars and jewelry with 99.99% purity traded by major brands such as SJC, Mi Hong, Bao Tin Minh Chau, and PNJ were at roughly 169.1–172.1 million dong per ta (buy–sell).
