As of Friday afternoon, the price of SJC gold rose by 0.13% to VND74.4 million ($3,065.52) per tael. Additionally, the price of gold rings saw an increase of 0.41% to VND61.95 million per tael. This price shift comes amidst a slight but consistent positive trend in global gold prices over the past three days, extending into Friday, according to financial data platform FXStreet.
Despite this upward trend, caution is being advised for bullish traders due to a failure to find acceptance above the $2,040 supply zone from a technical perspective. However, the momentum is limited and prices are still below the peak reached one and a half weeks ago.
Insight: Gold prices are influenced by various factors such as geopolitical tensions, economic data, and inflation. It’s important to keep an eye on these contributing factors to understand long-term trends in the price of gold. Additionally, while gold is often considered a safe-haven investment, its value can fluctuate due to changing market conditions.
