Safe Deposit Boxes are in high demand, and the high volume of gold-related services at banks continues to be very popular.

On January 21, the international gold price hit a record high, with COMEX gold breaking through $4,800 per ounce, reaching a high of $4,891.1 per ounce, and closing at $4,836.2 per ounce. On January 22, the gold price experienced a slight pullback, with COMEX gold still quoted above $4,830 per ounce at the time of writing. Currently, with the continued strong performance of the gold price, reporters visiting multiple state-owned and commercial bank branches found that the surge in gold prices has also fueled the banks' high-"gold" content businesses, such as structured deposits linked to gold, physical precious metals, etc. The previously unclaimed bank safe deposit box services have also become "in demand". Industry insiders point out that this phenomenon reflects the continuous increase and expansion of domestic gold investment demand, and financial institutions should actively promote product diversification, compliance of transactions, and provide risk warnings.
