Attention is on the window period for the Gold ETF managed by Bosera In terms of news, international precious metal futures generally rose, with COMEX gold futures up 1.29% to $4,745.00 per ounce, and COMEX silver futures up 3.14% to $74.25 per ounce. The uncertainty in the Middle East has increased market risks, and the direction of the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy remains unclear. Additionally, the continuous accumulation of gold stocks by southbound funds supports the trend of precious metals. The World Gold Council stated that in March, global gold ETFs experienced a record outflow of funds, amounting to $12 billion. The performance of gold in March was the worst since June 2013, a phenomenon driven by deleveraging and changes in liquidity rather than fundamental factors. Looking ahead, gold prices are expected to return to an upward trend. Relevant institutions pointed out that gold may gradually be returning to the main line of safe-haven and anti-inflation, and central bank purchases of gold continue to provide structural support. The People's Bank of China has increased its gold holdings for 17 consecutive months, and global central banks maintained net purchases in March. The sharp fluctuations dominated by sentiment and liquidity have significantly converged, further strengthening the medium to long-term allocation logic for gold: the trend of de-dollarization, central bank purchases of gold, and gold's core value as a hedge against currency depreciation and credit risk remain unchanged.
