Has the price of jade increased again? Should I wait and see or buy? Interpretation of the jadeite market in 2021!

Jadeite, as the king of jade, has always been loved by the Chinese people. Its price trend has always been a concern for people, and any slight change can affect the mood of jade lovers.

A lot of things have happened this year. I believe that veteran jade lovers have already learned about the news of jade price increases on major websites.

1. Global liquidity is increasing, and raw materials are rising

Some people say what does the global "flooding" have to do with me? This involves a lot of things.

The massive money printing during the 2008 financial crisis pushed up housing prices. The massive money printing in 2015 first pushed up the stock market and then the housing market.

In 2016, due to the sluggish economic situation and the sharp fluctuations in the stock market, market liquidity was greatly reduced and the entire jade market was affected to a certain extent.

In particular, the transaction volume of gift jade (mainly ornaments) has dropped sharply, the market for finished jade products has become more rational, and prices have become more transparent.

Under the influence of the general environment in 2020, countries have adopted quantitative easing economic stimulus policies and continued to print money.

2021 will be a year of global money printing. As we all know, according to economic principles, the total amount of wealth in society is relatively stable.

If the actual amount of currency issued exceeds the actual value of goods, it will cause inflation (currency depreciation and price increases).

This will inevitably lead to an increase in raw material prices. This includes the increase in the price of jadeite raw stones.

2. Impact of Jadeite Output Mineral Sources

The global flood of money is one factor, and the origin of jadeite ore export has an even more important impact.

Compared with other gemstones and miscellaneous stones, jade is the most diverse , and more than 90% of the world's jade comes from Myanmar.

Raw material location

High-end jade is 100% produced in Myanmar. The price of jadeite has also been affected by the domestic situation in Myanmar this year.

In February of this year, according to foreign media reports, Myanmar’s military television station issued a statement announcing that the military had taken over power. There have been major changes in Myanmar's political situation.

Due to the turbulent situation in Myanmar, it is unknown what the future will be like, but these uncertainties have added more uncertainty to the jade market.

In addition, in 2021, many mining areas will expire, raw stones cannot be imported, and jade production will decline year by year, so an increase in jade prices is inevitable.

Therefore, in the past two years, raw stones have always been a particularly favored project for jade investors, and the current price growth trend is relatively good.

3. Price of finished jadeite products

What will happen to the finished jade products when the raw stones are in short supply and the prices are rising? Due to the tight supply of jade resources, a large number of merchants are in the stockpiling stage.

The price of finished jade products will not increase significantly in a short period of time, but this may not be the case over a long period of time. In addition, the value of different varieties of jade varies greatly, so their market prices will also be different.

Let’s talk about high-end jade first

For a long time, jade has been mined frequently and is difficult to mine. The resources are decreasing year by year and are non-renewable.

Brick material

Most of the materials mined are brick materials, and high-end jadeite with excellent quality and good color is becoming less and less.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in the collecting world: "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless." The collection value of high-end jadeite is higher than other precious jewelry.

Over the years, the price of high-end raw stones has remained high, and jade merchants who have stockpiled goods are not in a hurry to cash out.

Therefore, high-end jadeite will still be a scarce product in the future and has great room for appreciation.

For example, jade bracelets, such as high ice or glass jade bracelets, cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, which has increased significantly compared with previous years.

At the annual jade auction, it can also be found that the price of high-end jade is often millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yuan.

Compared with stocks and real estate, investing in the collection of high-end jade can be regarded as a way to reduce risks, because it has the advantages of low risk, rapid appreciation and high style.

Let's talk about low-end jadeite

Over the years, people's aesthetic level has continued to improve and they have a better understanding of jade. The prices of some mid- and low-end jadeite of average quality have fallen a bit.

For example, some jadeite with larger flaws and heavier stone properties can cost between several hundred and several thousand yuan.

Fine jade prices remain stable

There is a big market for some jadeite with excellent quality, good color and exquisite carving, but such jadeite is also very hard to find.

For most jade lovers, even if they visit the entire market, there are not many that catch their eyes. In terms of prices, they are relatively stable, and most are above five figures.

In the past ten years, the price of jade has been on an upward trend. Due to the influence of the general environment, the reduction in jade production, oversupply and other factors, the price of jade, from raw materials to finished products, has clearly shown an upward trend. Therefore, if you choose the right time to buy jadeite, you can be considered to have made a profit.
