Can banks speculate in gold futures?
I don't know what you mean. It seems you know too little about gold. Please pay attention to the risks. It is true that banks can do gold futures, and the state also issued a document last year. But this sentence means that banks, as companies, can open corporate accounts and speculate in gold futures with their own funds. You got it? As a variety of commodity futures, gold futures are brokered by futures companies, and other institutions are not qualified. To put it bluntly, if you want to do gold futures, you must open an account with a futures company in person, which is a bit like opening an account with a stock and then opening a bank. At present, the state only allows the five major banks that have established diplomatic relations between workers and peasants to start transfer business. Let me remind you that domestic gold futures are not allowed to trade at night, so influenced by the United States, the market basically opens every day, either high or low, which is extremely risky.

There is also a spot deferred trading of gold, which is handled by the Shanghai Gold Exchange (run by the central bank). In the past, individuals were not allowed to participate in official channels, so many people secretly speculated from underground channels. At present, the agency is open to banks. As far as I know, only Minsheng Bank and Industrial Bank can run now. I guess what you care about is a kind of. This kind of transaction is a special type between spot and futures, firm offer and margin, and can be traded at night.

Finally, it is emphasized that the gold fever in 2008 has cooled down. When gold futures were first introduced, a large number of investors who fled from 6000 points were waiting for stock index futures, and they opened accounts for gold. On the one hand, they wanted to train, on the other hand, they borrowed money from the gold rush. As a result, since the callback of 1 1,000 dollars, most investors have lost all the profits of the bull market, eroded their own capital and withdrawn from the market one after another. So you can see that the trading volume of gold futures and deferred trading today is very small, with only a few lots and dozens of lots for each offer. Therefore, it is not suitable for capital intervention. Moreover, this quotation obviously lags behind the external quotation.

Having said that, you should have a certain understanding. Personally, I don't recommend you to make gold, especially since you feel like a novice. I suggest you study more when you are free. You don't have to do it, but you have to understand it. If you have to participate, it is recommended to consider silver deferred trading, and banks can also do it. The investment is relatively small and the loss will not be too serious.

By the way, BS, look at the firm offer of Shanghai Gold Exchange opened by Bank of Communications upstairs (Au 99/ 1000g). You can't make it shorter and bigger at all.
