China Gold Reserves Grow for 18th Straight Month China’s central bank added to its gold reserves for the 18th consecutive month in April, though the rate of acquisition has slowed due to soaring gold prices. The People’s Bank of China, a major player in the bullion market, purchased 60,000 troy ounces in April, a significant decrease from the 160,000 ounces bought in March and 390,000 in February. This slowdown occurs as gold prices hit record highs, impacting demand even as first-quarter purchases by central banks globally were the strongest on record, driven in part by these institutions, as noted by the World Gold Council and supported by insights from Goldman Sachs on continued potential in emerging markets. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts New Billboard in Times Square Sounds Alarm on $34 Trillion National Debt Crisis READ MORE Yahoo Finance Chartbook: 10 Charts That Show the Economic Forces Staving Off Recession READ MORE OPEC Slashes Oil Demand Growth Outlook for 2024 and 2025 READ MORE Harris to Outline Economic Vision at Chicago Convention READ MORE Mining Stocks Lag Behind as Gold Prices Shine: A Rally on the Horizon?
