Speculation in foreign exchange is investment, and speculation in gold is also investment. The difference between them lies in different objects and varieties. The object of foreign exchange is currency, which has many kinds and strong selectivity, and the volatility of most markets is less than that of gold. Moreover, the leverage of foreign exchange is greater than gold, so relatively speaking, the risk is greater than spot gold.

And speculating in gold is buying and selling gold. The variety of gold is relatively single, and the market volatility is greater than that of foreign exchange. Choosing a good direction can make money regardless of ups and downs. But leverage is smaller than foreign exchange, so the risk is smaller than foreign exchange. Of course, if the risk is smaller, the income will be smaller accordingly.

Therefore, investors should ultimately choose a more suitable investment method according to their actual situation and their understanding of the two investment varieties of gold and foreign exchange.
