1. Physical gold business:
The business of physical gold is actually the buying and selling of physical gold, and investors who pursue gold preservation can choose this business. Go directly to the bank to buy physical gold, such as gold bars and coins. Let's go to the gold shop.
However, when trading gold, it should be noted that banks will charge a unilateral commission of 0.8 yuan/gram, so the investment cost must be calculated when buying and selling gold. Moreover, since gold generally does not make a profit until the price rises to 1 yuan/gram, investors must not follow the market fluctuations frequently.
2. Paper gold business:
Paper gold business refers to investors buying and selling gold on the books to earn the difference, so as to profit from it. You can buy and sell paper gold directly through bank counters, telephone banking, online banking and self-service financial terminals. Investors do not need to hold real gold, but can trade gold with paper accounts.
You can buy and sell the "virtual" gold on the book according to the bank quotation, and then earn the fluctuation price difference of gold price by grasping the international gold price trend. This kind of business will not happen in cash withdrawal and delivery.
3. Gold deferred business:
In fact, the gold deferred trading business is what we usually call spot gold. Customers only need to open a spot gold account in the spot market and pay a certain amount of deposit as advance payment, so they can "temporarily" obtain a certain amount of gold without delivery, and then sell it directly in the spot market after the price of gold changes to obtain the difference.
In addition, the remaining payment can also be made up according to the current price of advance payment, thus obtaining the right of physical delivery.
This business allows investors to sell a certain amount of gold first, and then buy the same amount of gold after the price of gold changes to offset the previously sold gold.
Gold (English: Gold) is a chemical element with chemical symbol Au (from Latin: Aurum) and atomic number 79. Pure gold is a kind of metal with bright luster, reddish yellow, soft texture, high density and ductility. It is a rarer, more precious and more valuable metal. It is not only a special currency for reserve and investment, but also an important material for jewelry industry, electronics industry, modern communication, aerospace industry and other departments.
history
/kloc-before the 0/9th century, the level of gold productivity in human society was very low. Some people think that in the thousands of years before19th century, the total amount of gold produced by human beings was less than 10000 tons, for example, it was only 200 tons in18th century.
Due to the discovery of a series of gold resources in the19th century, the gold output has greatly increased since then, especially in the 50 years in the second half of the19th century, which exceeded the sum of the previous 5,000 years. In 20 13 years, the global total gold output is about 2770 tons.
According to the analysis report of China Gold Industry Market Prospect and Investment Strategic Planning, from April 20 13 to the middle of 20 15, the international gold price has been in a downturn after a sharp drop.
Judging from the global economic situation, the world economic growth rate may pick up slightly in 20 15, but the overall recovery is weak. The volatility of international financial markets and commodity markets has intensified, and non-economic factors such as geopolitics have a greater impact, and there are still many uncertain factors. With the strengthening of the US dollar, the prices of commodities such as gold, non-ferrous metals and oil are all running at a low level at 20 15, and the low price of gold may become the "new normal" in the next few years.
