World Gold Council responds to the sharp rise and fall in gold prices.

Faced with the volatile international gold prices, should investors take advantage of the opportunity to increase their positions or continue to wait and see? Recently, Jia Shuchang, head of the research department of the World Gold Council in China, encouraged investors to view gold from a more strategic and long-term perspective as an asset that can provide long-term returns, help reduce portfolio volatility, provide a safe buffer during turbulent international stock markets, and is a highly liquid strategic asset allocation. "For individual and institutional investors, a 5%-10% allocation to gold can reduce the risk of a typical 60/40 stock/bond portfolio and increase returns." He also warned that recent fluctuations in gold prices have intensified, increasing risks, and advised investors to be more cautious.
