According to Kitco, as of 4:00 PM (Vietnam time) on January 27, 2026, the price of gold on the global market was $5,481.01 per ounce, an increase of $191.09 compared to the previous day. Converted at Vietcombank’s USD exchange rate (26,230 VND/USD), the global gold price amounts to approximately 173.11 million VND per tael (excluding taxes and fees). Consequently, the price of SJC gold bars is currently 17.69 million VND per tael higher than the international gold price.
On the morning of January 29, the Chinese gold market continued to surge, with demand far exceeding supply. At Mi Hong Jewelry (Ho Chi Minh City), from 10 AM, a huge crowd was waiting to buy gold rings, forcing security personnel to regularly turn customers away and ask them to return the next day at 6 AM to queue earlier.
At the same time, the headquarters of Saigon Jewelry Company Limited – SJC (Ban Co Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) also ran out of stock of gold rings. That morning, the establishment displayed a sign indicating “Sale of gold rings suspended” due to depleted inventory.
For SJC gold bars, customers must register online. Only those who successfully register are allowed to conduct transactions, reflecting the very limited supply of gold bars in the face of strong demand.
