Overview
Domestic gold prices were unchanged at the open on September 25, 2026, with plain gold rings quoted at 140.9-145.6 million VND per tael and SJC gold bars at 141.4-144.4 million VND per tael across five surveyed brands. PNJ (HOSE), the listed jewellery retailer known formally as Vàng Phú Nhuận, quoted its plain rings at 141.4-144.4 million VND per tael, identical to its SJC bar quote. The flat domestic session contrasts with a softer international market, where spot gold eased 0.16% to roughly 4,267 USD per ounce.
Key Facts
- PNJ quoted plain gold rings at 141.4 million VND buy / 144.4 million VND sell per tael, unchanged from the prior session close.
- SJC gold bars were quoted at 141.4-144.4 million VND per tael by all five surveyed brands: SJC, PNJ, DOJI, Bảo Tín Minh Châu and Phú Quý.
- Plain ring quotes ranged from 140.9-143.9 million VND at SJC to 141.6-145.6 million VND at Bảo Tín Minh Châu, a spread of 700,000 VND per tael on the buy side.
- Spot gold traded near 4,267 USD per ounce, down 0.16% on the day, after declines of 0.3% and 1.6% in the two prior sessions.
- David Meger, Director of Metals Trading at High Ridge Futures, attributed the pressure to higher energy prices and elevated interest rates feeding inflation expectations.

- PNJ shares closed at 33,300 VND on September 24, 2026.
What Happened
The survey, published on the morning of September 25, 2026, covered ring and bar quotes at SJC, PNJ, DOJI, Bảo Tín Minh Châu and Phú Quý. Domestic prices held the prior session’s level, with the widest brand dispersion appearing in plain rings rather than SJC bars, which were quoted identically at 141.4-144.4 million VND per tael by every participant. The article does not disclose trading volumes or the source of the quote compilation.
Internationally, gold extended a three-session slide to a one-week low. The report cites a firmer US dollar, rising oil prices after a Houthi missile attack on Saudi Arabia, and a more hawkish Federal Reserve stance as the drivers. Meger’s comment links energy-led inflation expectations to the possibility of further Fed rate increases, which raises the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
Market Context
PNJ trades on the HOSE exchange and closed at 33,300 VND on September 24, 2026. The company sits in the Personal & Household Goods sector, where earnings are tied to retail jewellery demand, gold inventory revaluation and the spread between buy and sell quotes. A flat domestic price floor with a 3.0 million VND per tael PNJ ring spread preserves gross margin per unit but offers no tailwind from price appreciation. The wider Vietnamese market context is not detailed in the source article.
Strategic Significance
For long-term holders, the relevant signal is the stability of the domestic premium rather than the daily direction of world gold. Vietnamese gold prices have historically traded above international parity, and the fact that five brands converged on an identical SJC bar quote suggests administered or coordinated pricing in the bar segment, limiting brand-level pricing power. PNJ’s differentiation therefore rests on ring fabrication, retail network reach and inventory turnover rather than bar margin. A sustained international downtrend driven by Fed tightening would compress the revaluation gains that flatter jewellery retailers’ reported profits, while a widening ring spread would signal softer wholesale demand.
What to Watch
- PNJ’s next quarterly earnings release, for detail on gold inventory levels and gross margin per tael.
- Federal Reserve policy communications and US inflation prints, which drive the dollar and world gold direction.
- Domestic ring spread movements across SJC, PNJ, DOJI, Bảo Tín Minh Châu and Phú Quý as a demand indicator.
- State Bank of Vietnam gold market interventions or import quota announcements.
- PNJ share price reaction around the 33,300 VND close recorded on September 24, 2026.
