There is a rule for listed companies when preparing financial statements: losses from financial investments must be included in the monthly financial statements, while profitable investments in stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, etc. are not included in the financial statements (they are only counted after settlement). This phenomenon helps to explain one of the reasons for the significant drop in gold prices at the end of the month in the past month or two, as their investment portfolio has been affected by the recent "Trump tariff policy" and fluctuations, leading to losses in stock investments. In gold investments, there are profits, and in order to make the financial statements look better for the end of the month, to reassure the boss/shareholders, and other considerations, this has resulted in a sharp decline in gold prices at the end of the month. Due to international political influences, gold is expected to fluctuate around 3500 USD/ounce for a period of time.
