<h2>Guo Sizhi: Caution Needed for High Pursuit of Gold</h2>
<p>Guo Sizhi, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Analysts Association, stated that while he is optimistic about gold in the medium term, the gold market is highly speculative, and after significant price increases, a correction is inevitable. Investors pursuing gold at current levels carry risks, as a price correction could lead to a sharp drop of several hundred dollars. He advises investors to remain cautious when pursuing gold or other precious metals and related stocks.</p>
<p>Regarding Hong Kong stocks, Guo Sizhi mentioned that as the market approaches the index's rollover and settlement, there are favorable conditions for improvement. He holds a relatively optimistic view on the Hong Kong stock market, predicting that the Hang Seng Index will fluctuate between 26,500 and 27,200 points in the short term. However, the recent investigation of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission in mainland China may bring uncertainty to the Hong Kong stock market.</p>
<h2>Lu Bingjun: Hang Seng Index Fluctuating Between 26,100 and 27,000</h2>
<p>Independent analyst Lu Bingjun stated that the recent increase in margin requirements in mainland China has cooled the stock market, causing Hong Kong stocks to weaken. Additionally, Greenland has become a &#34;thing of the past,&#34; and the impact of Iran is gradually being digested. He believes that the chances of a &#34;black swan&#34; event affecting the index are minimal. The Hang Seng Index is expected to fluctuate between 26,100 and 27,000 this week. However, with the Lunar New Year approaching, there is hope for capital inflow to speculate on Hong Kong stocks, which may bring favorable market conditions.</p>
<p>Regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve's meeting this week and President Trump's announcement of the new Federal Reserve Chairman candidate, Lu Bingjun pointed out that the Fed currently operates quite independently. Since the meeting is very close, the announcement of the new chairman will not affect this meeting's outcome. He does not rule out the possibility of market speculation based on the candidate's announcement, which could lead to very short-term volatility in U.S. stocks, but the impact on Hong Kong stocks is minimal. Guo Sizhi noted that since the market has already anticipated that the federal funds rate will remain unchanged, market performance will depend on whether there are speculative themes to attract capital inflow.</p>
<p>Looking ahead to this week, in addition to the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, President Trump will have a public speech, and important data such as the U.S. January Consumer Confidence Index and China's full-year industrial profits will also be released. Additionally, the Asian Financial Forum (AFF), a major financial event in Hong Kong, will kick off today</p>
