TREE NEWS reports: COMEX gold futures fell more than 3% to below $4,200 an ounce, pulling retail gold jewelry prices down to 1,068 yuan per gram at Shenzhen’s Shuibei market. Merchants reported 20%-30% month-on-month sales growth as the National Day holiday and lower prices drew wedding-related buyers, with some popular styles selling out.
COMEX Gold Falls Below $4,200 as Shenzhen Jewelry Sales Surge
AI take
The pullback is doing what a price rally could not: converting physical demand. A 3% drop in COMEX futures translated into lower retail tags at Shuibei, and wedding-driven buyers responded immediately, with 20%-30% month-on-month sales growth and sellouts in popular styles. That is a reminder that Chinese jewelry demand is price-elastic and holiday-sensitive, and that the physical market can absorb paper-market weakness. The open question is whether this buying persists once the National Day holiday effect fades and prices stabilize.
