4. A must-read for ordinary people: Gold buying & investment advice
1. Buy jewelry (consumption)
– Gold stores have high quotations and expensive labor costs, so they are suitable for just-in-time wear; if you don’t need it urgently, you can wait for the post-holiday sales, which is more cost-effective.
2. Investment in gold bars/accumulation funds
– It is inconvenient to operate when the market is closed. It is safer to open positions in batches after the holidays. Do not chase high prices or place heavy positions.
3. Gold recycling
– The reference price is 1,060-1,083 yuan/gram. Hurry and choose regular channels. Pay attention to deductions and quotations.
4. Leverage trading (T+D/futures)
– There is a high risk of gapping during the market break. If you are light or short position during the holidays, beware of the risk of opening price difference.
5. One sentence summary
The domestic market is closed and there is no operation, and the international rebound has bottomed out; after the holiday, we will first look at stabilization before making arrangements. Buy jewelry and other promotions and investments in batches, stability is king.
