3. Traditional Financial Perspective: Opportunities for Gold Asset Allocation Emerge
Huatai Securities pointed out that on October 21, international gold prices experienced the largest single-day drop of 5.3% in 12 years, yet gold remains the preferred safe-haven asset during the global order restructuring period. The short-term pullback does not alter the long-term upward trend, and investors are advised to look for opportunities to increase gold asset allocation once prices stabilize. The decline in gold company stock prices is less than that of gold prices, indicating market recognition of their long-term allocation value, recommending leading stocks with growth potential and resource advantages.
Summary
Today's cryptocurrency market saw active new coin launches and airdrop activities, with platforms like Coinbase, Bybit, Huobi HTX, and Binance introducing trading for tokens such as aPriori (APR), Meteora (MET), and HANA, reflecting market enthusiasm for emerging projects. Meanwhile, the integration of traditional finance and the crypto market is accelerating, with investments from Cathie Wood and Solmate highlighting the potential of the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems. The pullback in the gold market provides new allocation opportunities for investors. Investors should closely monitor market fluctuations and project risks and participate cautiously.
