Gold prices increase

Gold ring price went up 0.09% to VND56.7 million per tael. A tael equals 37.5 grams or 1.2 ounces.

Globally gold prices rose on Tuesday after two sessions of losses as the dollar eased, while investors sought more clarity on the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance.

Spot gold was up 0.3% at $2,001.09 per ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $2,012.40.

"Given the sharp moves of late and little tier-1 economic data to guide this week, we should expect gold to consolidate in the $1,980-$2,020 range," said OCBC FX strategist Christopher Wong.

The U.S. dollar index was 0.1% lower and made bullion cheaper for overseas buyers.
