Actual investigation of bank deposits: Small 1 gram gold bars are in tight supply, delivery may be delayed.

Recently, reporters visiting some bank branches in Beijing found it a bit difficult for customers to quickly exchange the stored gold in their gold accumulation accounts for physical gold. According to customer managers at several bank branches, small gold bars ranging from 5 grams to 20 grams are currently in short supply, requiring appointments for registration and uncertain delivery times. Especially in the core areas of cities and high-volume bank branches, there is even a situation of "gold is hard to find". Against the backdrop of fluctuating gold prices, on one hand, bank customers' demand for physical gold remains high, and on the other hand, banks are tightening rules related to gold and other precious metal businesses. For example, many banks have recently strengthened risk control measures by raising the risk rating threshold for gold accumulation investment and implementing dynamic trading limit management. Experts suggest that ordinary investors investing in gold should return to the long-term asset allocation properties of gold, invest in gold accumulation or physical gold bars through a systematic investment strategy, and appropriately control the position of gold in their asset portfolio.
