Recently, the world's largest investment management corporation, BlackRock, in a market research report said that currently, they prefer U.S. and Japanese equities to European equities because of the energy problem stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused terrible injuries, a surge in commodity prices, and food and energy security issues," BlackRock, "It is stifling the economic growth and fulling inflation driven by supply problems. Europe is most affected among those developed markets, as it is trying to wean itself off Russian energy."

The volatile international political situations will continue to affect the markets and prices of many commodities like the colloidal gold.

Tumor detection 
In cancer research, colloidal gold can be used to target tumors and detected in vivo using SERS (Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy). Surrounded by Raman reporter molecules, the gold nanoparticles emit light 200 times brighter than quanta. It found that Raman molecules were stabilized when nanoparticles were coated with a mercaptan modified polyethylene glycol coating. This allows compatibility and circulation in the body.  To specifically target tumor cells, pegylated gold particles are conjugated with antibody (or antibody) fragments, such as scFv, that target, for example, the epidermal growth factor receptor, which is sometimes overexpressed in cells of certain cancer types. Using SERS, these pegylated gold nanoparticles were able to detect tumor locations. 
Gold nanoparticles accumulate in tumors due to leakage of tumor vasculature and can be used as contrast agents to enhance imaging in time-resolved optical tomography systems using short pulsed lasers for skin cancer detection in mouse models. The spherical gold nanoparticles applied widened the time distribution of the reflected light signal and enhanced the contrast between the surrounding normal tissue and the tumor. 
 
Chemotherapy 
Gold nanoparticles in chemotherapy and radiation therapy are colloidal gold used in therapy, usually for cancer or arthritis. Gold nanoparticles show promise in advances in cancer treatment. Some properties of gold nanoparticles, such as their small size, non-toxicity and non-immunogenicity, make these molecules useful candidates for targeted drug delivery systems. Using tumor-targeted delivery vectors becomes smaller and the ability to bypass the body's natural barriers and obstacles becomes more possible. To increase the specificity and likelihood of drug delivery, tumor-specific ligands can be transplanted to particles along with chemotherapeutic drug molecules to allow these molecules to circulate throughout the tumor without redistributing into the body.
 
Gene therapy 
Gold nanoparticles have shown potential as intracellular delivery vectors for siRNA oligonucleotides with the greatest therapeutic impact. 
Gold nanoparticles have shown potential as intracellular delivery vectors for antisense oligonucleotides (single- and double-stranded DNA) by providing protection against intracellular nucleases and easily targeted functionalization. 
 
Biosensor
Gold nanoparticles are incorporated into biosensors to enhance their stability, sensitivity and selectivity. Nanoparticle properties such as small size, high surface volume ratio and high surface energy can immobilize a wide range of biomolecules. In particular, gold nanoparticles can act as "electron wires" to transmit electrons, amplifying electromagnetic light so that they can act as signal amplifiers. The main types of biosensors based on gold nanoparticles are optical and electrochemical biosensors.
