< p > Yang Delong, chief strategist of the southern fund, reminded investors to purchase foreign exchange financial products launched by formal financial institutions as far as possible, and not to buy foreign exchange financial products recommended by individuals and informal institutions. At the same time, we should see all the terms and details, prevent fraud and credit risks.

< p > experts have also reminded investors that the RMB exchange rate volatility has increased from 1% to 2% since March 17th, and the risk of exchange rate fluctuations has increased.

Lin Bocheng, a banking analyst at Huatai Securities, said that in the short term, the RMB exchange rate is going down, but it is hard to say that the long and medium term RMB will continue to depreciate.

< /p >

< p > "if RMB < a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "> /a > go strong, foreign exchange financing may not be able to make up for the loss of exchange rate.

Moreover, the trend of exchange rate is hard to predict. Once the exchange rate trend is unfavorable, investors will not have the means to avoid risks.

Lin Bocheng said.

In addition, the investment cycle of foreign exchange financial products is generally relatively long, and the liquidity of funds is poor. There is a certain liquidity risk.

< /p >

< p > "investors should choose financial products according to their actual conditions, and do not blindly follow suit."

Lin Bocheng said.
