On the global gold trading website Kitco.com, the price of gold slipped another 1.8 USD per ounce to end at 1,083.2 USD per ounce or 1,305.2 USD per tael.

Reuters.com reported that gold fell for 12 sessions out of 13 on November 13, trading close to a near-six-year low on rising bets that the Federal Reserve would hike American rates next month and as investors pull out of bullion-backed funds.

Spot gold fell 0.2 percent to touch 1,082.65 USD an ounce by 3.52am GMT, and was on track to post a fourth straight weekly dip. The metal tumbled to 1,074.26 USD in the previous session, the lowest since February 2010.

As the price of gold fell, Bao Tin Minh Chau Company in Hanoi recorded a greater number of gold buyers than gold sellers. The ratio of buying/selling of gold was 65 to 35. The company encouraged buyers to purchase gold now for the best savings.
