// Frequently asked
What is the current gold price in Vietnamese dong?
The live XAU/VND spot rate on goldprice.dev is sourced from a live oracle stream cross-validated against a continuous spot reference and refreshes every 30 seconds. Prices are displayed per gram, per lượng (37.5 g), and per chỉ (3.75 g) for 24K and 18K purity.How much is one lượng of gold in VND today?
One lượng equals 37.5 grams. The lượng (also called cây) is the traditional Vietnamese gold unit and the standard denomination for SJC bars. Multiply the live per-gram 24K price by 37.5 to get the current lượng price, or read it directly from the lượng column on this page.What is a chỉ in Vietnamese gold measurement?
A chỉ is one-tenth of a lượng, equal to 3.75 grams. It is the smallest common trading unit in Vietnamese gold shops and is often used for gold rings and small gifts. Ten chỉ make one lượng.What is 'vàng 9999' and why does it matter?
'Vàng 9999' (also written 'vàng bốn số 9') is 99.99% pure gold — the equivalent of 24K. It is the purity standard for SJC gold bars, which are produced by Saigon Jewelry Company and serve as the national bullion benchmark in Vietnam. Prices quoted by Vietnamese gold shops typically refer to SJC vàng 9999.Why does the Vietnamese gold price sometimes differ from the international spot price?
Vietnam historically carries a domestic gold premium above the international XAU/USD spot, partly due to State Bank of Vietnam import quotas and tight supply of SJC bars. The premium can widen sharply around Vía Thần Tài and Tết when demand surges. The XAU/VND rate on this page reflects the global spot converted at the live USD/VND rate; domestic SJC retail prices may differ.What is the difference between SJC gold and 'vàng tây'?
SJC (Saigon Jewelry Company) bars are government-licensed 24K (99.99%) bullion and the dominant savings instrument in Vietnam. 'Vàng tây' literally means 'Western gold' and refers to lower-karat (typically 18K) gold used in jewelry — it is priced differently and traded at a discount to SJC bars.When is the best time to buy gold in Vietnam?
Vietnamese buyers traditionally purchase gold on auspicious lunar dates, especially on Vía Thần Tài (10th day of the first lunar month) and during Tết (Lunar New Year). Demand spikes on these days can push domestic premiums higher. From a pure price perspective, international spot volatility is the bigger driver outside these cultural peaks.Can I get the live Vietnam gold price via API?
