The auction price was VND500,000-VND600,000 ($24-28.5) per tael higher than the market buying price and VND200,000-300,000 ($9.5-14) lower than the market selling price.

The auction was the second one since the June 30 deadline for banks to return gold deposits to investors. It's understood the State Bank will continuously sell gold into the market rather than rely on bank demands.

At present the market price for gold in Viet Nam is VND5.3 million ($252) per tael higher than the global market price.

Since March this year, the State Bank has sold 1,036,900 taels, equal to nearly 40 tonnes of gold. — VNS
