World gold price reaches 3,600 USD/ounce for the first time, setting a new record

Domestic and world gold prices continuously set new peaks

At the end of the trading session on September 5, SJC gold bar prices were listed by businesses at 132.9-134.4 million VND/tael (buy - sell), an increase of 500,000 VND/tael in both buying and selling. This is also a new record for this item. The difference between buying and selling prices remained at 1.5 million VND/tael.

Meanwhile, the price of gold rings also set a new record, listed at 126.7-129.2 million VND/tael (buy - sell), an increase of 500,000 VND/tael in both buying and selling directions.

The situation of people lining up to buy gold occurred when the price of precious metals increased sharply in recent days. However, demand exceeded supply. According to Dan Tri reporters, most large stores only sold out of plain gold rings from the time they opened in the morning until around 10 am. Gold bars were no longer sold directly by units.

Domestic gold prices have increased following the world gold price. In the international market, the precious metal is trading around the $3,600/ounce mark, the highest ever. In just the past month, the precious metal has increased by 6%. If we consider the past year, this metal has increased by 42%.

Gold prices rose after the release of disappointing US economic data. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US non-farm payrolls increased by just 22,000 jobs last month. This was significantly lower than the general forecast, as economists expected a job increase of around 75,000 jobs.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate continued to rise, reaching 4.3%, up from 4.2% in July. The increase in the unemployment rate was in line with the general forecast. This figure further confirmed the forecast that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates this month.

Free USD increased sharply

At the end of the trading session on September 5, the State Bank announced the central exchange rate at 25,248 VND, unchanged from the previous one. With a 5% margin compared to the central exchange rate, commercial banks are allowed to buy and sell USD in the range of 23,986-26,510 VND.

Major banks continue to list USD prices at 26,190-26,510 VND (buy - sell). USD transaction prices at joint stock banks are 26,150-26,510 VND (buy - sell). All units list USD prices at the ceiling price.

On the free market, foreign exchange points listed the USD buying and selling price at 26,800-26,900 VND (buy - sell), unchanged from yesterday, also a record level for the "black market" USD.
