Gold Recyclers:

According to Red Star News, on April 24, Mr. Lin, a gold recycler in Hunan, told reporters that since March, the domestic gold price has continued to rise; "Some customers heard the rumors and came to inquire about withdrawal, but they couldn't accept the gold price of 530 and 540 (yuan/gram), and the actual trading volume did not increase significantly. ”
For gold recyclers, there are also risks associated with acquiring gold at this time. Mr. Lin introduced that early in the morning of the 24th, he found that the gold collected on the evening of the 23rd had lost more than 20,000 yuan, and he was currently trapped for hundreds of thousands of yuan. Like most gold recyclers, Mr. Lin is also waiting and seeing, "It's more bullish to see when it can rise back and then make a move." ”
A gold recycler in Zhengzhou said that on April 22, she received more than 1,000 grams of gold, and the recovery price for customers at that time was 556 yuan/gram, and then the gold price fell to 555 yuan/gram, 552 yuan/gram and 550 yuan/gram, "It fell faster than the speed I quoted to customers, and I lost more than 10,000 yuan for gold after a busy day." ”
According to the gold recycler, they are recovering gold from a low price, and the price of gold has been rising. On April 23 and 24, the price of gold continued to fall, and if you have stockpiling in your hands, you will lose about 20 yuan per gram. However, in the view of the recycler, it is normal for gold recyclers to make profits and losses, "invest in trading, make money when it rises, and bear its own risks when it falls." However, in the past, it was more common to fluctuate by two or three yuan per gram, and it was relatively rare to reduce the price by ten or twenty yuan per gram. ”
