Brand-specific morning quotations
SJC quoted gold bars at 139 million dong to buy and 142 million dong to sell per tael on the morning of October 20, down 1.1 million dong from the previous day's close. The report described selling prices around 142 million as the lowest since August 5.
Plain rings at SJC were quoted at 138.2-141.2 million dong per tael. PNJ listed 138-141 million, while Bảo Tín Minh Châu and Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải quoted 138-142 million. DOJI's range was 138.5-142.5 million. These two-way prices belong to individual brands at a particular time; they are not a single live price for every seller.
International market and silver
Global gold closed October 19 at $4,139 an ounce, more than $24 lower than the preceding weekend, and eased to about $4,135 the following morning. Using the Vietcombank exchange rate cited in the article, the international price was approximately 130 million dong per tael, leaving a domestic premium of around 12 million dong.
The report linked market caution to the coming Federal Reserve meeting, a stronger dollar and higher US Treasury yields. Those factors provide context rather than a forecast guaranteeing the next price direction.
Domestic silver quotations also fell. Phú Quý and Ancarat listed bars at 1.98-2.04 million dong per tael, while DOJI quoted about 2.02-2.10 million. These silver figures share the report's morning snapshot and are separate from the gold-bar and ring quotations.
