黄金基金ETF（518800）午后涨超2%，市场关注避险需求与配置价值

Group 1 - Gold plays a significant role in asset allocation as a diversification and risk-hedging tool, with optimal allocation averaging 18% from 1972 to 2014, particularly yielding an annual return of 16.2% when inflation exceeds 5% [1] - In the current environment of high global debt, low real interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainty, gold's strategic value as a non-correlated asset is highlighted, shifting asset allocation paradigms from "fixed income+" to "gold+" [1] - The core logic for gold's price increase is linked to the re-evaluation of dollar credit, particularly post-Ukraine crisis, where insufficient safe-haven assets and doubts about the Federal Reserve's credibility are significant factors [1] Group 2 - The Gold ETF (518800) holds physical gold contracts traded on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, directly corresponding to the physical gold stored in the exchange's vaults, making investment in the ETF equivalent to direct investment in physical gold [1] - The price movements of the Gold ETF closely follow the AU9999 spot contracts, which represent domestic gold prices, with a requirement that at least 90% of the fund's assets must be held in physical gold [1]
