Vietnam Gold Drops VND400,000/Tael, Dollar Unchanged

Bid and ask of Thang Long bullion gold, a product of Bao Tin Minh Chau gold, were listed at VND28.27 million and VND28.37 million a tael; while SJC bullion bid and ask were listed at VND28.28 million and VND28.37million/tael in todays morning.

Local gold prices plunged by VND400,000/a tael on June 22 after the global gold price dropped 1.9% to 1,233.6 an ounce last night on the New York market.

Sacombanks bullion gold bid and ask were listed at VND28.34 million and VND28.38 million/tael in todays morning. A tael is equal to 1.2 ounce.

The gold trading became more active as speculators saw money making opportunities, gold dealers said.

In Asia trading, spot gold rose $6.65 to $1,238.30 an ounce, U.S. gold futures for August delivery fell $1.5 an ounce to $1,239.2, after hitting a record around $1,266.

Gold has rallied to records as investors turned to the metal on worries the euro debt crisis would spread, the U.S. economy may be slowing and after Chinas move to make the yuan exchange rate flexible put pressure on the dollar.

"Theres some physical buying from the retail sector but I think theres not much. The market is consolidating after reaching record highs," said a dealer in Hong Kong.

"This is also a good time to take profits but I dont think gold will fall below $1,200. We may trade in a range of $1,230 to $1,248 ahead of the FOMC meeting. If goes back to around $1,250, we may see another record high next week," he added.

Chinas central bank set the yuans daily mid-point at 6.7980 against the dollar on Tuesday, in the second day of trading since China pledged at the weekend to make the yuan more flexible.

The Federal Reserves two-day policy meeting begins on Tuesday and some dealers are increasingly convinced the U.S. central bank will leave its policy rate target in the zero to 0.25 percent range until the middle of 2011.

The worlds largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Trust said its holdings were unchanged at a record high at 1,307.963 tons.

In the local forex market, dollar in the gold shops were traded steadily under VND19.000 threshold; while in the official market, Vietcombanks dollar bid and ask were listed unchanged at VND18,940 and VND18,990. The State Bank of Vietnam sets inter-bank exchange rate stable at VND18,544.
