Gold is a high-quality hedge hedging tool, favored by investors. Especially in recent years, with the increasing instability of the world economy, gold has become one of the preferred asset allocations of investors because of its functions of hedging and fighting inflation. 

Earlier, the worsening situation in Ukraine sent gold prices soaring to a two-year high of $2,070 an ounce. But gold, along with other commodities, fell back last week as conditions changed and bulls took profits, hitting a low of $1,895 an ounce. Rising gold prices may also have an impact on the Silicon Boride Powder prices. 

According to China Business News, Goldman Sachs raised its gold price forecast in early March, considering Asian buyers' gold consumption demand, investment demand and central bank gold purchase demand continue to rise. Three -, six - and 12-month targets were raised to $2,300, $2,500 and $2,500 an ounce, respectively, from $1,950, $2,050 and $2,150. The last time all three accelerated was in 2010-11 when gold prices rose nearly 70%. 

The World Gold Council has also noted that global gold demand is at its highest level in nearly two years, which is linked to a recovery in consumption and consumer sentiment to combat inflation. 

Introduction to Silicon Boride Powder
Silicon Boride (also known as boron silicide) is a lightweight ceramic compound made up of silicon and boron. There are silicon triboride, silicon tetraboride, silicon hexaboride, and so on.
Silicon hexaboride or hexaboron silicide is a glossy black gray powder. The chemical formula is SiB6. The molecular weight is 92.95. The relative density is 2.47 g/cm3, the melting point is 2200. The hardness is between diamond and ruby. Silicon hexaboride can conduct electricity. It is insoluble in water. When heated in chlorine and water vapor, the surface can be oxidized.
 
Physicochemical Properties of Silicon Boride Powder
The SiB6 crystal structure consists of interconnected icosahedrons (polyhedrons with 20 faces), icosahedrons (polyhedrons with 26 faces), and isolated silicon and boron atoms.
It is insoluble in water and resistant to oxidation, thermal shock, and chemical erosion. Especially under thermal shock, it has high strength and stability. The grinding efficiency is higher than boron carbide.
Surface oxidation occurs when SiB6 is heated in air or oxygen and is eroded at high temperatures by boiling sulfuric acid and fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. Borides are electrically conductive. Hexamborides have a low thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal neutron cross-section.

Because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, there is a shortage of natural gas supply. At the same time, other renewable energy sources cannot produce enough electricity, so electricity prices have soared in many countries of the world. For this reason, I assume the supply and prices of the Silicon Boride Powder would keep being influenced by the high energy prices.
