**[Merchants Lose the Equivalent of a Maybach in Gold and Silver Hoarding Within a Month]** Golden Finance reported on June 27, citing Jiemian News, that on the afternoon of June 26, Shenzhen's Shuibei Gold Market was bustling with activity, attracting numerous "gold diggers." Around 6:00 PM that day, the gold bar price at Shuibei was quoted at 926 yuan/gram, with a buyback price of 869 yuan/gram. On-site, some individuals purchased multiple gold necklaces, with a total value exceeding 80,000 yuan. Due to booming business, one merchant stated they were temporarily halting retail sales and focusing solely on wholesale. The merchant explained that they usually specialize in purchasing on behalf of clients, but due to the current workload, they would resume offline retail sales once things settle down. Another Shuibei merchant revealed, "In just over a month, the value of the gold and silver assets we've been hoarding has shrunk by over a million yuan—it's like losing a Maybach. It feels like we're losing money every day." Recently, international gold prices have been on a sharp downward trend.
