Although Shuibei gold stores are packed with customers, sales are less than half of last year's.

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on June 26 that international gold prices have been continuously correcting recently, at one point falling below the $4000 mark. Visiting the Shuibei market in Shenzhen revealed that market foot traffic has remained strong since the Dragon Boat Festival, but there is a strong wait-and-see sentiment. Merchants stated that compared to last year's hot sales when gold prices surged, overall sales volume has fallen significantly, with transaction scale less than half of last year's. Consumers who previously bought gold at high prices are now much less willing to make new purchases. Most consumers still believe that the current price is too high, with their ideal purchase price around 500 yuan per gram. Due to gold price volatility, even those interested in buying gold only choose small pendants for personal wear, and are hesitant to stockpile large amounts.```
