Vietnam gold price edges up to VND38.1 mln/tael
Print 
Local gold prices Monday rose VND120,000 to VND38.1 million a tael as the global gold edged up to US$1,546 an ounce.
But the domestic gold price is still VND300,000 a tael lower than that in international markets.
The gold price increases as the value of US dollars is lower than other currencies as the US economy is estimated to sharply decline in the last six months of the year.
Investors are boosting up to buy gold as they worry about the US economy, EU debt crisis, and the increasing inflation in China.
Many domestic gold companies are stepping up the purchasing of gold for export purposes.
