Benefits:
1. Safety: Gold is recognized as the best safe-haven product in the world. Inflation has been particularly serious in recent decades, and many countries have suffered greatly. When the currency depreciates, the purchasing power of the currency drops day by day, and the currency becomes worthless and worthless. If the country's currency inflation becomes extremely serious, the currency will become waste paper. Gold itself is a valuable commodity, and the price of gold will rise with inflation, that is, gold offsets the loss of inflation, thus ensuring that investors' assets will not be eroded by inflation.
2, rarity: At present, the earth's gold inventory is limited, but the demand has soared!
3. Liquidity: The gold market trades 24 hours a day and can be traded into currency at any time.

There are four types of domestic investable precious metals markets:
The gold T+D 1 of Shanghai Gold Exchange is a gold contract transaction and the largest gold trading market in China.
2. Inter-bank paper gold, China Bank, China Industrial and Commercial Bank and China Construction Bank all have this business.
Paper gold refers to the paper trading of gold. Investors' transaction records are only reflected in the "gold passbook account" opened by individuals in advance, and the physical gold is extracted as personal voucher gold. Its quotation is similar to foreign exchange business, that is, following the fluctuation of the international gold market, customers earn the difference by grasping the market trend of buying low and selling high.
3. tianjin precious metal exchange mainly deals in precious metals such as silver, palladium and platinum.
4, physical gold trading, this is also the most stupid one, because physical gold involves storage fees, appraisal fees, insurance fees, transportation storage fees are very expensive. There is no need to consider physical gold investment except gold reserves and jewelry use.
Focus on gold TD and paper gold
1, gold TD, like A-shares, is a matching transaction, which can be bought up or down, quoted in RMB, trading unit100g per lot, and margin trading mode. For example, when an investor buys 1 lot of gold at a price of 267 yuan/gram, when the price of gold is 266, the loss of this transaction is (267-266)× 1 lot (100g) = 100 yuan, while the short seller can earn/. There are few transactions. Buying and selling are all done in the exchange, and there is no physical delivery, which benefits from the difference between buying and selling.
2, paper gold can only buy up, similar to the gold TD trading model, the market is limited to banks. No physical delivery is required.
In regional stock markets, there are many cases of market manipulation. However, the gold market belongs to the global market, and no individual or consortium has enough funds to control the global gold market, so the gold price can always be maintained at a level that reflects the actual supply and demand relationship. The price of gold is uniform all over the world, and no trader dares to deviate from the actual range, because once the deviated price is quoted, a large number of investors around the world will carry out risk-free arbitrage. Because the gold market cannot be manipulated artificially, investors have the greatest guarantee in terms of price fairness.
