Saigon Jewelry Company is holding firm with gold bar prices at VND125 million (approximately US$4,750.59), and gold rings are reflecting a similar stability at VND119.5 million per tael.
The gold market remained steady as investors looked toward the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium later this week, seeking insights on potential interest rate adjustments and monitoring Washington’s diplomatic moves to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, according to reports from Reuters.
Globally, spot gold climbed 0.2% to $3,337.62 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures for December delivery saw a slight increase of 0.1% landing at $3,381.50.
“Gold is currently in a consolidative phase, biding its time for a significant catalyst to push higher. The Jackson Hole event is certainly one to watch for dovish guidance from the Fed,” noted Kyle Rodda, a financial market analyst with Capital.com.
