Core Viewpoint - The only silver futures fund in the market, Guotou Ruijin Silver Futures (LOF), has upgraded its purchase limits due to a surge in precious metal prices and increased market activity, aiming to protect the interests of fund holders [1][3][5].

随着国际金价持续走高，银行销售的投资金条被不少人视为"硬通货"。但金条购买容易，如果想变现， 其中还有许多回购规定。比如，各家银行的回购规则不一样，不是所有金条银行都照单全收，也不是每 个银行网点都能回购金条。 那么，去银行买金条时，要关注哪些要点？回购时，有什么问题要注意？ 银行回购规则严格 限品牌 限网点 收折损费 近日，记者来到北京市西城区某银行咨询黄金回购的相关流程与要求。业务员解释，"不是每个网点都 可以办理回购，需要有鉴定的资质。如果只投资，不建议把黄金提走，可以代保管，涨了之后把它卖掉 就可以，不用拿到手里。" 另一家银行的业务员在手机银行App上展示了当日投资金条的买卖价格，如果当日卖出，投资者还需承 担差价。 不过，有网友反映，金店虽然回购爽快，但是存在压价风险。相比金店的黄金，银行金条虽然在购买时 具备品牌保障和标准化优势，但后续的流通性却不如预期。 该业务员称："金条有塑封膜，提走之后，如果不拆开膜，回购时要去专门管实物金的网点，鉴别真 伪。如果拆了膜，会打孔验真伪，就会造成消耗。" 该行客户经理也证实，回购金条需要收取相应的折损费用。"回购会有折损费，工费、手续费都在里 边。" 据了解 ...

连续火爆20个月之久的黄金白银，从市场反应来看，还是出现了"高处不胜寒"。 同日，央视财经评论明确指出要重视贵金属价格后续风险。 那么，黄金白银的牛市会戛然而止吗？ "高位震荡持续一段时间，手里有黄金白银相关投资品种的尽早兑现为好。"银河证券江南大道总经理唐 贺文指出，导致黄金白银价格暴涨的主要推动力，来自全球对政经形势不确定性产生避险情绪，从而引 发了资金爆炒贵金属价格。但投资者需要知晓的是，贵金属的价值属性主要在两种情况下体现：一种是 基本面高度繁荣（高增长+高通胀）阶段的价值重估，另一种是政经形势不确定性预期下的价值防御。 换句话说，一旦不确定性成为了确定性因素，贵金属将不再具有投资价值，甚至可能跌得更快。因此， 这两天黄金白银剧烈震荡，即使不是绝对见顶，也距离见顶不远了。站在未来5年角度来看，贵金属可 能会出现比2011-2015年更大级别的熊市，技术分析纽约黄金筹码强支撑区是1900美元附近，纽约白银 筹码强支撑区是25美元附近。所以，持有黄金白银相关品种的投资者，建议及时兑现利润宜早不宜晚。 随着以黄金白银为首的贵金属价格猛涨引发的非理性抢购潮，风险警示为主的降温调控措施亦接踵而 至。10月10日 ...
