The price of gold, which was around VND 75 million per tael at the end of last week, has continued to drop and is now at VND 74 million per tael this morning. This decrease in gold prices could be attributed to various factors such as a stronger US dollar, higher bond yields, and improving economic outlook as vaccination efforts against COVID-19 continue to progress. Additionally, the easing of trade tensions between the US and China could also be contributing to the decline in gold prices as investors seek higher-yielding assets. However, it’s important to note that gold is still a safe-haven asset and its value can fluctuate due to geopolitical uncertainties and inflation concerns. Investors should carefully monitor gold prices and consider diversifying their portfolios to mitigate risks in the current market environment.
