Gold Price in Vietnam (VND) 2026

The XAU/VND rate uses licensed USD spot delayed 15 minutes, converted with live FX from exchangerate.dev. It refreshes automatically. Prices are displayed per gram, per lượng (37.5 g), and per chỉ (3.75 g) for 24K and 18K purity.

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 per-gram 24K price by 37.5 to get the current lượng price, or read it directly from the lượng column on this page.

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.

'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.

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.

SJC (Saigon Jewelry Company) bars are the State Bank of Vietnam's designated sole national gold-bar brand (24K, 99.99%) since Decree 24 (2012) 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.

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.
