1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of gold investment?
Advantages: 1 High value preservation and large appreciation space; 2. More flexible, both ups and downs can be operated; 3.T+0 trading mode, which can be bought and sold on the same day; The market is open, so it is difficult to have a banker.
Disadvantages: there are many kinds of investment, and the investment risks of paper gold, gold fund and gold futures are high; If the purchase cost of gold jewelry is high, the repurchase is not smooth.
Generally, the tools that can invest in gold are mainly exchange traded gold (ETF) and physical gold or paper gold sold by banks. Gold is a safe-haven asset. When other financial markets are in bad or even in crisis, more investors choose to invest in gold to hedge, and the price of gold is affected by many factors, including war, interest rate, dollar and so on.
Second, the trend of gold investment?
At present, although the price increase of gold jewelry is mainly due to the increase of international yellow price, it can be found that gold investment has been overheated.
As a hedging tool, the price of gold will rise during the economic crisis, but in 2009, which was deeply affected by the global financial crisis, the price of thousands of gold jewelry in this city only rose by 40 yuan/gram; On the other hand, in the first 10 months of this year, the retail guide price of thousands of gold jewelry in this city has been raised by 58 yuan/gram. In the international market, in addition to ordinary investors and investment institutions, even some countries are buying gold. According to the gold market survey released by Hang Seng Bank in June 5438+ 10, Bangladesh recently purchased 10 tons of gold from the International Monetary Fund. Another set of data can also explain the recent popularity of gold. Since the International Monetary Fund was approved by its board members to sell 403.3 tons of gold in September 2009, only 93 tons of gold have been available for sale.
Under the influence of the financial crisis, gold has provided investors with a trustworthy channel for maintaining and increasing the value of assets with its unique attributes. In 2009, gold became one of the most striking commodities in the financial market. After 200 years of ups and downs, gold investment launched a fierce long-short fight at the beginning of 20 10. The trend of gold 20 10 will not replicate the unilateral rise in 2009, but it will not fall sharply; The factors affecting the price of gold this year are more complicated; 20 10 (especially in the first half of the year), the overall price of gold is still improving, but it is at a high level, waiting for a breakthrough, rather than blindly rising strongly.
