Gold prices both domestically and internationally fell sharply, with domestic gold dropping by up to 2 million dong per tael as market moves and Middle East developments influenced trading. In the afternoon session on April 15, both domestic and world gold prices reversed from the morning and declined by about 1.5–2 million dong per tael.
At 3:20 p.m. local time, global gold prices were around 4,810 USD per ounce, down 18 USD per ounce over the past six hours. Converted using the USD/VND exchange rate from Vietcombank, this corresponds to about 153 million dong per tael.
Following the adjustment, domestic gold prices were revised lower. Saigon Jewelry Holding Company (SJC) gold bullion was quoted at 170 million dong per tael (buy) and 173.5 million dong per tael (sell), down 1.5 million dong per tael from the morning session. Doji Jewelry Co. trimmed 2 million dong, trading at about 170 million dong per tael (buy) and 173 million dong per tael (sell).
Jewelry gold prices also fell. At Phu Quy, jewelry gold traded in the range of 170 million to 173 million dong per tael (buy/sell), down 1.5 million dong per tael from the morning session. Bao Tin Minh Chau quoted jewelry gold at 170–173 million dong per tael, down 2 million dong per tael from the morning session.
In the afternoon, the spread between bid and ask remained at about 3 million dong per tael. The SJC domestic price was still roughly 20 million dong per tael higher than world gold.
World gold prices fell in the afternoon of April 15 in Asia after reaching the highest level in a month earlier. The decline was linked to expectations of renewed peace negotiations between the US and Iran, which boosted risk assets. At the same time, higher oil prices raised inflation concerns.
On the Middle East front, U.S. President Donald Trump said on April 14 that talks to end the conflict with Iran could be resumed in Pakistan within a few days, after talks last weekend collapsed.
According to Edward Meir of Marex Financial, gold prices are reacting in the short term to Middle East developments as markets expect both sides to return to negotiations. If negotiations resume and fail again, the market could revert to pre-ceasefire conditions, with gold prices falling, the dollar strengthening, and stocks retreating.
