国际金价飙升引爆银行“淘金热”

Group 1 - International gold prices have been rising, prompting both domestic and foreign banks to launch gold-linked structured deposit products, which appeal to conservative investors due to their "capital protection" and yield flexibility [2] - Several banks have introduced related products since the beginning of 2026, with potential maximum annual yields reaching 4.5% [2] - Foreign banks' products have high entry thresholds and longer terms, such as DBS Bank requiring a minimum investment of $10,000 for a 12-month term, while HSBC China requires $20,000 for a 3-year term, and Standard Chartered Bank has a minimum subscription of $75,000 for an 18-month term [2] Group 2 - In contrast, domestic banks offer more accessible products with shorter terms and lower risks, with institutions like Jiangsu Bank, Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank, and China Merchants Bank having minimum investment amounts generally around $1,000 and terms ranging from 7 to 90 days [2] - Experts from the Beijing Wealth Management Industry Association indicate that the current trend of de-dollarization and geopolitical fluctuations are driving demand for gold, which remains strong in the market [2] - Companies are actively participating in the allocation of such products, although investors are advised to choose wisely, as structured deposits, while promising capital protection, have returns linked to market performance [2]
