State Bank continues to auction SJC gold bars, reference deposit price drops to 87.5 million VND/tael

The total volume of gold bars expected to be auctioned remains unchanged compared to previous auctions at 16,800 taels of SJC gold.

The gold bar weight of a transaction lot is 100 taels.

The reference price for calculating the deposit price is 87.5 million VND/tael. This price is only for deposit calculation. Bidding members will have to pay an advance of 10% of the bidding value.

However, right before the auction, the State Bank decided to lower the reference price to VND87.7 million/tael.

The minimum bidding volume each member is allowed to bid in the next session is still 5 lots (equivalent to 500 taels).

The maximum bidding volume each member is allowed to bid is 40 lots (equivalent to 4,000 taels).

Bidding price step is 10,000 VND/tael, bidding volume step is 1 lot (100 taels).
