Gold jewelry prices have fallen about 21% from their late‑January peak and are
now back at December 2025 levels. International gold’s highest closing price
this year was $5,535.6/oz on Jan. 29; Lao Feng Xiang jewelry peaked at 1,713
yuan/gram on Jan. 29. After highs from late January to early March, prices have
retreated and trended lower. Veteran investor Huang Weiming recommends
allocating roughly 10% of household assets to gold, up to 20–25% for higher risk
tolerance, and treating gold as a medium‑to‑long‑term holding subject to
short‑term volatility.
