"In light of more volatile gold prices and to protect against rising risk in gold products tied to settlement prices, the Bank of China has offered its clients a new risk-management tool," it said in a press release on Tuesday. Gold prices hit a two-month high on Monday, as sentiment on the U.S. dollar weakened. Gold and silver both hit a 25-year high in May of this year.
