Gold at $4,700: A Repricing of Risk or a Dangerous Stretch?

While major wealth managers and ETFs are increasing allocations, analysts warn the rally could reverse if policy independence is restored or tensions subside.
Global Risk-Off Sends Stocks Tumbling as Nvidia Loses Nearly $200bn; China Readies a Domestic-Demand Push
Global markets turned risk-off on renewed US tariff rhetoric, sending US indices sharply lower and erasing roughly $196 billion from Nvidia’s market value. Beijing signalled a policy pivot toward expanding domestic demand — including a 2026–2030 strategy and extended tax breaks for services — as geopolitical and market volatility complicate external growth prospects.
Gold Surges Past $4,700 as Geopolitics and ETF Flows Drive a New Bull Run — Can It Last?
Gold hit record highs above $4,700 on January 20, driven by geopolitical concerns and strong ETF inflows, with Chinese retail jewellery prices following suit.

Hainan’s Duty‑Free Boom: Tourists Flood In, iPhones and Gold Fly Off Shelves in First Month of 'Sealed‑Port' Experiment
In the first month after Hainan implemented an island‑wide sealed‑port customs regime, duty‑free retail and tourism surged: RMB 4.86 billion in sales, sharp rises in hotel and flight bookings, and shortages in popular items such as gold jewellery and iPhones. Policy changes — expanded zero‑tariff lists, visa easing for Russian tourists, and consumer vouchers — have driven a rapid reorientation of demand, while customs digitalisation eased throughput and regulators warned of resale and fraud risks.
