Eurozone GDP grew by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter, not only better than market expectations but also an improvement from the zero growth in the first quarter. Schmidt noted that PMI surveys indicate a good start to the third quarter for the Eurozone, although future trends will still largely depend on the Iran war and energy price developments. Therefore, the current market focus remains on inflation, and the inflation trend largely depends on whether the US and Iran can reach an agreement. He stated, "If a ceasefire is achieved, the ECB will be able to maintain key interest rates and enable the Eurozone to achieve robust growth in 2026."According to CGTN: Local power plant officials said a drone belonging to the Ukrainian armed forces attempted to attack critical infrastructure at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.

Is 2024 a Good Timing to Buy Gold ?

CITIC Investment Trust pointed out that the past quantitative easing policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve led to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar and increased inflationary pressure, prompting the public to turn to gold as a store of value, and pushing up the demand and price of gold. However, the current global situation is relatively relaxed, and the conflicts between Russia, Ukraine, and Israel and Palestine have shown signs of cooling down, and the hedging function of gold is no longer as good as it used to be.


Therefore, investors should note that if the New Taiwan dollar continues to strengthen, if they blindly increase their gold holdings denominated in US dollars, they may face exchange rate risks and idle funds. Especially with expectations that the Federal Reserve is about to cut interest rates and the U.S. dollar is weakening, gold's return may not be as good as expected. In addition, the price of gold is currently at a high level and the upside space is limited. For investors who have not yet entered the market, it is not advisable to blindly chase higher prices or overweight, let alone make a desperate move. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 


But if investors are looking to achieve asset diversification and balance from the perspective of asset allocation, then they may be able to appropriately allocate some gold to reduce overall volatility. Of course, in addition to gold, there are many other investment options on the market, such as stocks, bonds or other alternative assets, which may have higher growth potential and yields than gold. Sourcian is a dedicated platform for the recommendation of the best manufacturers. Your sourcing journey starts right here at sourcian.


However, as the price of gold rises, two different mentalities have emerged in the market: one is optimistic about the future of gold and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to buy; the other is to sell at a high point and make profits. The intersection of these two mentalities may trigger a wave of selling and affect the price trend of gold. Therefore, investors should pay close attention to market trends, avoid blindly following trends, and have their own investment strategies and risk management.
