Saigon Jewelry Company gold bar price gained 1.02% to VND148.7 million (US$5,594.85) per tael.
Local bullion rates are around VND15 million per tael higher than their global counterpart.
Gold ring price also went up 1.02% to VND148.6 million per tael on Monday. A tael equals 37.5 grams or 1.2 ounces.

Spot gold was up 0.9% at $4,197.41 per ounce after falling to its lowest level since June 11 on Friday. U.S. gold futures for August delivery fell 0.7% to $4,215.90.
