According to SBV, though
there have been no sudden changes in the demand-supply balance of gold at home,
the price in the domestic market remains much higher than the world’s price.
SBV supposed that the SJC’s
sale of ingot gold will bring the domestic price down to the world’s floor.
By 3 PM of Friday, SJC ingot
gold was priced at VND 25.17-25.27 million per ingot, about VND 1.16-1.2 million
cheaper than yesterday.
On the world market, the
gold price continued to drop this afternoon, falling by US $14.5 per ounce at 3
PM compared to the opening time.
