Prices of key goods continue to drop
HCM City (VNA) - Prices of several commodities will continue to drop by 5-10 percent in September, according to the HCM City Department of Industry and Trade.
Several HCM City-based cooking gas trading companies lowered the price of
each 12-kg canister by 10,000 VND as of September 1 in response to global
prices falling 55 USD per tonne to last month to 820 USD per tonne.
The maximum cooking gas retail price is now 256,000 VND (15.5 USD) per 12-kg
canister.
Prices of construction steel have also gone down in recent weeks. Several
steel producers cut prices by 100,000 -300,000 VND per tonne this week.
Rolled steel and bar steel now go for 17.2-17.5 million VND per tonne
and17.4-17.6 million VND (1,043-1,068USD) per tonne, respectively.
Meanwhile, prices for several construction bricks dropped by 300-400 VND
each to around 800-1,000 VND each.
Down 10-15 percent, ceramic and granite bricks are now sold for
70,000-80,000 VND (4.2-4.85 USD) per sq.m and 125,000-350,000 VND (7.58-21.2
USD) per sq.m, respectively.
At Binh Dien Wholesale Market in District 8, prices of several seafood
products per kg are 2,000-5,000 VND lower than last week's prices.
Rates of several items like potatos, carrots, French string beans and
cucumbers decreased by 500-1,000 per kg at Thu Duc Agricultural Products
Wholesale Market.
Nguyen Thanh Ha, deputy trading director of Thu Duc Agricultural Products
Wholesale Market, said prices will go down again in one or two more weeks in
anticipation of a large shipment of Chinese produce.
According to the Department of Industry and Trade's estimates, with the fall
of raw materials prices globally, the lower rate of the US dollar
domestically made several goods, especially imported ones, cheaper. Last
month's two fuel price drops sent several companies re-adjusting the prices
of their commodities and services for the near future.
Saigon Plastics Joint Stock Company plans to reduce their selling prices in
tandem with the drop of plastics prices in the global market, said general
director Lai Anh Viet. Some household appliances plastic producers plan to
cut prices by 5-10 percent this month.-Enditem
