For the first time to invest in gold, it is suggested to start with the paper gold of the bank. The starting point of risk and investment is relatively low (generally RMB/gram 10g), and the trading platform is stable and diverse. Understand the characteristics of gold investment, how to judge the trend of international gold price, the relationship between foreign exchange market (mainly USD) and gold, geopolitics, commodity futures (mainly oil) and other influences. You can try to invest in gold futures or gold options according to your own risk tolerance and capital, and then you must avoid the gray channels like underground gold speculation, and don't just listen to the propaganda of high leverage and high income. The risk behind the gold foreign exchange margin trading made by investment companies is enormous! Gold futures choose a regular futures company to open an account, and gold options can be done in BOC (but not all BOC have this business).
