Domestic gold prices decreased this morning, following the downward trend in the global market last night. Previously, world gold prices rose sharply for most of the 2/3 session, at one point touching 5,420 USD per ounce, as Middle East tensions fueled safe-haven demand. However, this upward momentum narrowed during the US trading session, closing the day at 5,320 USD per ounce.

During the 3/3 session, gold rose again, currently at 5,360 USD. Converted using the Vietcombank exchange rate, international gold is equivalent to 169 million dong, creating a 20 million dong difference compared to domestic prices. This gap between world and domestic gold has narrowed from the 23-24 million dong observed before the Lunar New Year.

Silver bar and silver ingot prices also decreased by 5.3%. Phu Quy Gold Investment Joint Stock Company listed this item at 3.37 - 3.48 million dong per tael. Converted to kilograms, silver ingots were priced at 90.02 - 92.79 million dong. Ancarat and Doji traded this metal at 3.38 - 3.49 million dong, while Sacombank - SBJ quoted 3.46 - 3.56 million dong.
