China's Gold Demand Lags Behind Global Trends in August China’s gold market in August showed mixed signals, with the LBMA Gold Price AM in USD rising 4.3% while the Shanghai Gold Benchmark PM in RMB increased by only 1.7%. Gold withdrawals from the Shanghai Gold Exchange increased month-over-month but fell year-over-year, reflecting weak local demand despite seasonal factors. Chinese gold ETFs experienced their first monthly outflow since November 2023, likely due to profit-taking. However, gold futures volumes on the Shanghai Futures Exchange reached their highest level since April. Looking ahead, seasonal demand may improve, but economic challenges and high gold prices could continue to limit consumption, while investment demand remains price-dependent. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Suffers Steepest Daily Plunge in a Year As Geopolitical Fears Ease READ MORE LBMA and WGC Push for Gold's Upgrade to HQLA Status Under Basel III READ MORE Food Wars Loom as Nations Hoard Supplies, Warns Agricultural Trader READ MORE Gold Futures Fall as Easing Geopolitical Strains Diminish Safe-Haven Appeal READ MORE U.S. Job Openings Hit Lowest Point Since 2021 READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
