2021年9月16號黃金跌了接近50美元，主要是昨晚美國8月份零售銷售業數據高於預測值。樂觀的數據，讓部分投資者猜測美國聯準會將會提早展開購債縮減，這是導致黃金下跌的主要原因。

On September 16, 2021, gold fell by nearly $50, mainly because the August retail sales data in the United States last night was higher than the predicted value. The optimistic data has led some investors to speculate that the Fed will start to reduce debt purchases earlier, which is the main reason for the decline in gold.

上網看了一下，昨天公布的數據大部分都超過市場的預測值，這表示，美國的經濟正在穩定恢復中，黃金在越穩定的環境下，價格會處於一個較低且穩定的價格，可可認為，目前這個穩定價格應該是在1780-1820之間，後續將漸漸調低。

I took a look on the Internet. Most of the data released yesterday exceeded market forecasts. This indicates that the US economy is recovering steadily. Under a more stable environment, the price of gold will stay at a lower and stable price. Cocoa believes that , The current stable price should be between 1780-1820, and it will be gradually lowered in the future.

檢視了一下台灣的牌價，目前的買進價格1750.65美元，賣出價格1767.55美元，與走勢圖的1758.05美元相較，目前已經在反映了暴跌時的價格，並且有開始緩漲的跡象。

Examining Taiwan’s quotation, the current buying price is 1,750.65 US dollars and the selling price is 1,765.55 US dollars. Compared with the 1,758.05 US dollars in the chart, the price at the time of the plunge has already been reflected, and there are signs that the price has begun to rise slowly.

黃金存摺最大的缺點，就是買賣差價過高，以目前的價格來說，買入價格跟賣出價格價差有16.9美元。相當於1%的手續費，如果可可還要再賺1%的利潤的話，必須跌幅超過30美元以上才有機會達成，這次跌幅來到50美元，似乎符合可可的目標，所以可可決定買一些黃金做測試。

The biggest shortcoming of the gold passbook is that the bid-ask spread is too high. At the current price, the difference between the buying price and the selling price is $16.9. It is equivalent to a 1% handling fee. If Cocoa is to make another 1% profit, it must fall by more than 30 US dollars to have a chance to achieve it. This time the drop has reached 50 US dollars, which seems to meet Coco’s goal, so Coco decided to buy some gold do a test.

買入了0.2盎司，在2021年9月17日以353.11美元買進。接下來就是靜靜的等待，希望能快點回到1780美元以上。END

It bought 0.2 ounces and bought it at $353.11 on September 17, 2021. The next step is to wait quietly, hoping to return to more than $1780 soon. END
