Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan highlighted in his essay that safe-haven assets, including gold, have seen significant corrections after a period of rapid growth. Gold prices surged nearly 30% in January, reaching a peak of US$5,600, but have since fallen over 12%. Despite global market volatility, Hong Kong's financial system remains stable, with total bank deposits exceeding HK$19 trillion. Chan warns of considerable risks and volatility in the coming year due to the rapidly changing global political and economic landscape.

PAObank and WeLab Bank offer 3-month time deposit rates of 2.9 basis points and 2.75 basis points, respectively. In terms of general time deposit rates, Hang Seng offers 2.4 basis points for 2-month and 3-month deposits, and 2.1 basis points for 6-month deposits. Mox Bank's time deposit rates remain between 2.4 basis points and 2.6 basis points

- Investors looking for stability in February may consider high-yield time deposits, with banks like Hang Seng and PAObank offering competitive rates.  
- Notably, Hang Seng's 2-month deposit now offers a 5% interest rate under certain conditions, targeting an increase in savings deposits.

Gold and silver prices have crashed significantly, with gold futures dropping 13% and silver futures nearly 21% in just two days. This decline follows a period of record highs and is attributed to profit-booking and speculation regarding the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Stocks of gold financiers like Muthoot Finance and Hindustan Zinc have also seen sharp declines. Analysts suggest that this price drop may present a buying opportunity, while volatility is expected to continue as markets await the Union Budget announcement.
