According to the Zhixun Finance APP, amid the drastic fluctuations in gold prices, a recent survey released by the World Gold Council (WGC) showed that the willingness of central banks worldwide to increase their gold holdings has reached a historically high level, providing a solid foundation for a long-term bull market in gold prices. However, in the short term, factors such as the fluctuating tensions between the US and Iran, expectations of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, and the diversion of funds from risky assets are all impacting gold prices, leading them into a high volatility phase.
