Why has the price of gold risen again?
Recently, the international gold price has repeatedly reached record highs.
The price of gold jewelry this week has approached 900 yuan per gram.
Professor Wan Zhe from Beijing Normal University stated that
The main reason for the recent increase in the price of gold is that…
The uncertainties from all aspects have brought about
Increased risk aversion sentiment
Firstly, the GDP growth rate of the United States in the fourth quarter of 2024 was lower than the previous estimate and market expectations. The stickiness of inflation in the US remains, and due to the current economic policies, it is likely to persist for some time, potentially bringing about uncertain expectations for the market.
Secondly, the uncertainty of geopolitical conflicts has increased, which has an impact on the market’s risk-averse sentiment.
Thirdly, in 2024, the global central bank gold purchase data exceeded 1,000 tons, which had a guiding effect on the market and led to an increase in the price of gold.
Fourthly, since President Trump took office, he has announced a number of policies which have brought uncertainties to the United States and the world at large.
Gold has become “hot”, and scams are coming.
The “gold rush” seems to offer abundant investment opportunities.
In fact, it conceals risks.
Some unscrupulous individuals are promoting themselves as offering high returns.
A facade of low risk
Induce investors to transfer funds
Even this has led to the emergence of terms like “mailing gold”.
A variety of new types of fraud schemes
Invest in opening a store. The other party claims to provide the supply of goods.
But they paid the goods’ deposit by mailing gold instead?
Ms. Li intends to start an online store.
The swindler said that he could provide her with the supply of goods.
When Ms. Li was about to make the payment for the goods
The fraudster stated that he/she would not accept online transfers.
Let her buy gold to pay off the debt.

Ms. Li firmly believes it.
Purchased 20,000 yuan worth of gold and had it mailed.
Fortunately, the parcel containing the gold was delivered.
Being promptly intercepted by the police in Guangzhou
There was no loss of money at all.
Is it true that people in foreign countries “bring back” gold by themselves?
The result was that the investment went down the drain.
Not long ago, Mr. Gao learned from Xiao Wang that
The gold price in a certain country is much lower than that in the domestic market.
The price difference per gram can reach hundreds of yuan.
But it must be “retrieved by human hands”.
The investment cycle lasts for about two months.
Profit margin of at least 10%
Mr. Gao was attracted by the high returns.
Transfer 600,000 yuan to the other party.
Not long after, Xiao Wang claimed that the customs of that country had…
On the grounds of carrying more gold than allowed and failing to pay the fine
Seize the gold that he/she is carrying.
And no proof was provided either.
Mr. Gao has already paid the money.
One didn’t obtain the so-called “profit” either.
After that, we were unable to get in touch with Xiao Wang either.
Finally, Mr. Gao chose to report the case.
Xiao Wang was arrested and indicted by the prosecution.
File a prosecution for fraud.
