China and Hongkong gold market has a history of more than 90 years. Its formation is marked by the establishment of China chinese gold and silver exchange society. From 65438 to 0974, the governments of China and Hong Kong lifted the control on the import and export of gold. Since then, the gold markets in China and Hong Kong have developed rapidly.
As the time difference between China and Hongkong gold markets just fills the gap between the closing of new york and Chicago and the opening of London, it can connect Asia, Europe and the United States to form a complete world gold market.
Its superior geographical conditions have attracted the attention of European gold merchants, and five big gold merchants in London and three big banks in Switzerland have set up branches in Hong Kong. They brought the gold trading activities settled in London to Hong Kong, and gradually formed an invisible local "London gold market", making Hong Kong one of the major gold markets in the world.
