Group 4: Future Outlook - The gold jewelry market in China may continue to face pressure due to low consumer confidence and high gold prices, although seasonal improvements and potential policy support could provide some relief [3]. - The macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, which may further bolster gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset, potentially driving prices higher if geopolitical tensions escalate [3].
