Growing risk-aversion by investors due to a volatile global financial environment has contributed to the "gold rush", said Zhao Xiangbin, chief strategist at Beijing Gold and Forex Fortune Investment Management.
金磚匯通首席策略師趙相賓表示，全球金融環境動蕩導致投資者的風險規避情緒日益高漲，這是引發“購金熱”的原因之一。

趙相賓認為，受投資者對避險資產青睞的推動，2024年我國的黃金消費將進一步增長。
"The rise in gold prices has been supported by geopolitical tensions and frequent unforeseen events in recent years. The tense geopolitical situation and unexpected prospects of the US elections later this year are likely to provide a solid foundation for gold output and consumption growth, as gold is known for its strong safe-haven appeal," he said.
趙相賓稱：“近年來，緊張的地緣政治局勢和頻發的不可預見事件為金價上漲提供了支撐。地緣政治局勢緊張和2024美國大選的不可預見前景很可能為黃金產量和消費增長提供堅實的基礎，因為黃金具有公認的強大避險能力。”
"The market anticipates positive consumer sentiment, stimulated by expectations that gold prices will reach new highs. China's gold industry has increased its investment in new technologies and capital in recent years, which will further boost gold output and consumption."
“在金價將再創新高的預期刺激下，市場預期消費情緒積極樂觀。中國黃金行業近年來加大了新技術和資金投入，這將進一步促進黃金產量和消費量的增長。”
