Can ordinary investors still participate in precious metals trading?

The bank raised the threshold for precious metal trading to protect customers, as many people are now only thinking about buying gold and silver, which has too much speculation. On the other hand, if you don't have a position in precious metals now, I think investors like this should not participate. Currently, precious metals have ended their one-way rise and entered a consolidation phase. Gold and silver have risen for over a year before this, and if investors haven't participated in such a long time, it shows a lack of understanding of precious metals, and losing money in this situation is almost inevitable," a bank insider admitted. Guotai Haitong research report believes that the price of precious metals is suppressed by crowded trading, the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the drop in US tech stocks. The nomination of the new chairman of the Federal Reserve has had an important impact on the dollar, US bonds, and other assets. Looking ahead to 2026, the increase in central bank gold purchases and the holdings of gold ETFs will continue to be an important factor supporting gold prices. The London silver leasing rate has declined slightly, but the speed of decline in US silver inventories is faster. China Post Securities research report states that in the long run, the de-dollarization process will not turn around. This adjustment is not the end of the bull market in precious metals, so be patient and wait for the right time for the price to turn around.
