Gold Bars Surpass USD1 Million Mark For The First Time
Gold Bars Surpass USD1 Million Mark For The First Time
For the first time in history, a bar of gold has reached a value of one million dollars.
历史上首次，一块黄金达到了一百万美元的价值。
On Friday, gold's spot price exceeded $2,500 per troy ounce, setting a new record. With gold bars generally weighing around 400 troy ounces, this translates to a value of over $1 million per bar.
上周五，黄金现货价格超过每盎司2500美元，创下新纪录。由于黄金条通常重约400盎司，这相当于每条超过100万美元的价值。
However, there are some nuances to consider. Gold bars traded in the London market—the global hub for gold trading—typically weigh about 400 troy ounces but can vary between 350 and 430 ounces of pure gold, according to the London Bullion Market Association. For those seeking more affordable options, smaller gold bars are available, including those sold by Costco.
然而，需要考虑一些细节问题。在伦敦市场中交易的黄金条是黄金交易的全球中心，通常重约400盎司，但根据伦敦金银市场协会的数据，可以在350和430盎司之间变化。那些寻求更便宜选项的人可以选择更小的黄金条，包括好市多出售的黄金条。
In the first half of this year, central banks acquired a total of 483.3 tons of gold, equating to nearly 40,000 bars, as calculated by Bloomberg using data from consultancy Metals Focus. This surge in central bank purchases, combined with expectations of more accommodating monetary policy from the US Federal Reserve, has fuelled gold's impressive rally this year.
