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.
歷史上首次，一塊黃金達到了一百萬美元的價值。
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.
上週五，黃金現貨價格超過每盎司2500美元，創下新紀錄。由於黃金條通常重約400盎司，這相當於每條超過100萬美元的價值。
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，需要考慮一些細節問題。在倫敦市場中交易的黃金條是黃金交易的全球中心，通常重約400盎司，但根據倫敦金銀市場協會的數據，可以在350和430盎司之間變化。那些尋求更便宜選項的人可以選擇更小的黃金條，包括好市多出售的黃金條。
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.

今年上半年，中央銀行共購買了483.3噸黃金，相當於將近40,000條黃金條，這是由Bloomberg使用從Metals Focus諮詢公司獲得的數據計算得出的。中央銀行購買的激增，再加上聯儲局預計採取更多寬鬆的貨幣政策，推動了今年黃金印象深刻的上漲。
