Gold price dip doubles sales at Shuibei jewelry stores

The Shuibei rebound looks like price-driven restocking rather than a change in underlying demand: a dip in bullion is pulling in heavier bangles and wedding buying, which are discretionary, occasion-led purchases that tend to surge on discounts and fade when prices stabilize. The shift toward Sheep zodiac charms over Horse items shows how quickly seasonal cultural demand rotates through this market, a useful signal for anyone tracking Chinese physical gold absorption. Whether this momentum holds once prices stop falling is the open question.
