回復 #27 苦海無涯 的帖子
我好想問: 近年來上海股票市場一直在大家的追捧中,表現瘋狂向上....現在又開放金銀貿易市場,會否把金子帶到另一頂峰呢??
New York spot gold opened with a $1.60 gain and was quoted at $826.80 bid per ounce.
The metal shows signs of possibly wanting to close out the year on a high (or highest?) note, thus a test of the previous $845 target should not be ruled out.
The Shanghai Futures Exchange has got the go-ahead from the China Securities Regulatory
Commission to start gold futures trading, the regulator said yesterday.
"The launch of gold futures is significant to offer a hedge for companies and investors,
expand the gold trading line from spot and forward trading and curb illegal gold futures
trading to protect investors' interest," the regulator said. Gold prices have been rising with
bigger fluctuations, and there is a need for companies and investors to hedge against the risk through the futures market, the country's top regulator on securities and futures said on its Website.
Authorities have already punished some illegal gold futures traders. The Shanghai Futures
Exchange, the biggest futures bourse in the country, has finished preparation work and will
launch the product soon, the regulator said, without giving a timetable. The bourse is already strong in commodity metal futures trading, with products including copper, aluminum and
zinc. The addition of gold, an important precious metal, helps to expand its product line.
China now offers spot and forward gold trading on the Shanghai Gold Exchange. The gold
bourse has also vied to offer gold futures, gaining approval from its regulator, the People's
Bank of China, the country's central bank. Chinese traditionally have seen gold as a safe haven and a symbol of fortune.
Investment-grade gold bullions are popular on the retail market. Banks also offer paper gold
trading, where investors can't hold real bullion but bet on gold prices. Chinese mainland gold
demand rose 32 percent to 75.9 tons in the three months ending in June. Gold jewelry
demand rose 30 percent in the period to 70.6 tons, while the demand for investment gold
rose 76 percent to 5.3 tons on China's mainland.
China is the world's third-biggest [we think it is now safe to say that China is in the number
two, possibly number one spot in production globally] gold producer. Its gold production
topped 240.1 tons in 2006, up 7.15 percent from a year ago.
While latecomers should be on alert for the ever-present risk of profit-taking and the volatility generated by holiday trading conditions, the appeal of the metal remains strong, even after a 32% year-on-year gain. |
