1. Globality: The international gold market is not a single trading place, but a network of trading centers, including London, new york, Zurich, Hongkong and Tokyo. These trading centers are connected by modern communication tools, forming a global market with 24-hour uninterrupted trading.
2. Standardization: the trading units in the international gold market are unified, such as the standard gold bars of the London Gold and Silver Market Association (LBMA), which weigh 400 ounces (about 12.4 kg). This standardization allows gold to be traded freely between different trading centers.
3. Price transparency: The price formation mechanism in the international gold market is open and transparent. The market price is mainly determined by the relationship between supply and demand, and will also be influenced by geopolitical, economic data, central bank policies and other factors.
4. Leveraged trading: The international gold market provides a leveraged trading mechanism, that is, investors can expand their investment scale through margin trading. This trading method can increase the profit potential, but it also increases the risk.
5. Rich investment varieties: The international gold market includes not only physical gold transactions, but also various gold derivatives, such as gold futures, options and ETFs, which can meet the needs of different investors.
The international gold market provides a platform for global investors to invest and trade gold, with high liquidity and transparency. However, when investors conduct international gold trading, they also need to pay attention to market risks and manage them well.
