Although from the price chart, the price fluctuations experienced by long positions will be quite different, because spot gold has leverage and positions have overnight fees. For investors who are not very experienced in market trading, long positions are not a good choice.
In this way, it will be better for everyone to choose short-term trading mode, because the price of gold is directly affected by the international situation, and international relations have been changing, so there are many trading opportunities, and spot gold can be traded in real time, so fast forward is more beneficial to investors.
Definition of spot gold:
Spot gold refers to physical delivery, such as gold bars and coins. Spot gold is only a virtual book transaction, without physical delivery. How many grams of gold are there in your passbook? It's just a bookkeeping symbol, and you can't extract physical gold. It just earns the difference by buying and selling. The former can preserve and increase value, but it takes time. I'm afraid it's not safe to keep gold bars at home. I can rent a safe in the bank. Because the latter does not involve physical objects, there is no potential safety hazard, but it is also necessary to grasp the market when trading.
Definition of gold futures:
Gold futures are also called "gold futures contracts". Futures contracts with gold as the trading object. Like general futures contracts, gold futures contracts also include trading unit, quality grade, term, final maturity date, quotation method, delivery method, minimum price change range, daily price change limit and so on. According to the different units of measurement, gold futures contracts can generally be divided into two specifications. Take the Chicago Grain Exchange as an example. One is gold futures with a weight of 1 1,000g and a purity of 99. 5%, and the other is gold futures with a weight of 65,438+0,000 Moz and a purity of 99. 5%.
