The domestic gold price skyrocketed to over VND39 million per tael today, July 3, following the rise in the metal’s global price last night, the local media reported.

The prices of Phu Quy gold quoted by Phu Quy Group were VND38.9 million for buying and VND39.5 million for selling.
The strong fluctuation in the domestic gold price resulted from the world’s gold price movements.

The gold price continued its upward trend on the world market on July 3, rising by $5.9 per ounce to $1,425 per ounce, the highest over the course of the week.
The fall of the greenback and concerns over global trade pushed up global gold prices, according to Reuters.
