The attractiveness of gold is expected to increase in the months to come, fueled by prudent domestic monetary policy and lower interest rates, which will further reduce the cost of investing in gold and prompt investors to seek other wealth storage options like precious metals, said Wang Lixin, CEO of the World Gold Council (China).
世界黄金协会（中国）首席执行官王立新表示，在谨慎的国内货币政策和较低的利率的推动下，黄金的吸引力预计将在未来几个月增加，这将进一步降低投资黄金的成本，并促使投资者寻求贵金属等其他财富储存选择。
Furthermore, softness in the real estate market and escalating global geopolitical tensions may also contribute to the growth of retail investment demand for the yellow metal, a mainstream asset that generates sustained and stable returns, Wang said.
此外，王表示，房地产市场的疲软和全球地缘政治紧张局势的升级也可能有助于黄金零售投资需求的增长，黄金是一种产生持续稳定回报的主流资产。
