Overview
Domestic gold prices opened lower on the morning of Nov 2, with SJC-branded gold bars quoted at 139 million VND per tael on the sell side across major dealers and ring gold ranging from 135.8 to 138 million VND per tael. PNJ (HOSE), the listed jewellery retailer among the quoted brands, posted ring gold at 133.6-137.6 million VND per tael. The move follows a global gold selloff of more than 3% last week that pushed spot prices below the $4,000/oz threshold.

What Happened
The Nov 2 price table, published in Vietnamese financial media, showed domestic gold dealers marking down quotes after a volatile week for the metal. SJC gold bars were uniformly listed at 136 million VND on the buy side and 139 million VND on the sell side across SJC, PNJ, DOJI and Bảo Tín Mạnh Hải, while ring gold quotes varied by brand. PNJ’s ring gold sat in the middle of the range at 133.6-137.6 million VND per tael, a 4 million VND spread between buy and sell.
The article attributes the pullback to global factors rather than domestic ones. Spot gold fell more than 3% last week and lost the $4,000/oz level, with the report citing a firm stance from the US Federal Reserve, positive US economic data and a selloff in technology stocks as pressures on the gold market. The article does not cite a specific company filing or regulatory announcement; the figures are dealer quotes compiled for the morning session.
Market Context
PNJ trades on HOSE and closed at 15,500 on the 2026-11-01 reference date. The company sits in the Personal & Household Goods sector, where gold retail margins are sensitive to the spread between buy and sell quotes and to turnover volume rather than to the direction of the underlying metal alone. The wider Vietnamese market has seen bullion-linked sentiment swing with global gold, and the Kitco survey cited in the article points to a split between institutional analysts, now majority bearish, and retail investors, 53% of whom still expect higher prices.
Strategic Significance
For PNJ, the relevant variable is not the headline gold level but the retail margin structure. A 4 million VND per tael spread on ring gold, alongside a 3 million VND spread on SJC bars, indicates dealers are maintaining protective margins while hedging against further downside. If global gold continues toward the $3,750-3,850/oz zone flagged by Bannockburn Global Forex’s Marc Chandler, PNJ’s inventory revaluation and consumer demand elasticity become the swing factors: lower prices can revive physical jewellery demand, but they also compress the value of stock on hand. The article does not disclose PNJ’s inventory position or hedging policy.
What to Watch
- PNJ’s next quarterly earnings release for gross margin on gold and jewellery segments.
- Daily SJC bar and ring gold quotes from PNJ, DOJI and SJC for changes in the buy-sell spread.
- Spot gold’s ability to hold the $3,895/oz level and the $3,750-3,850/oz zone cited by analysts.
- Further Kitco weekly survey results for shifts in analyst versus retail sentiment.
- Any State Bank of Vietnam policy signal affecting gold market management or import quotas.
