In response to the market turbulence, the Shanghai Gold Exchange issued a notice today. It stated that numerous factors are currently affecting market stability, leading to significant volatility in precious metals prices. The exchange urged all member units to closely monitor market changes, refine risk contingency plans, and help maintain stable market operations.
