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 Banking Sector Woes Propel Treasury Rally, Rate Cut Forecasts READ MORE Money vs. Currency: The Great Gold & Silver Rush READ MORE Gold Prices Soar to Unprecedented Heights Amid Anticipation of Fed Rate Cuts READ MORE ZeroHedge: Physical Silver Buyers Gatecrash COMEX Vaults READ MORE Proposed Ban on Open-Pit Mining Could Crush Mexico's Economy READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
