China's Central Bank Maintains Gold Holdings Amid High Prices China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), refrained from purchasing gold for the third consecutive month in July, maintaining its gold reserves at 72.8 million fine troy ounces. Despite the unchanged quantity, the value of these reserves increased to $176.64 billion due to rising gold prices, which have surged 16% this year. Analysts suggest that the PBOC’s pause is due to elevated gold prices, and purchases may resume if prices decline. The PBOC remains a significant player in the gold market, having been the largest buyer in 2023, but its current strategy reflects caution amid high prices. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Soars to All-Time High as Dollar Weakens and Rate Cut Hopes Grow READ MORE Powell's Testimony Suggests Softening of Controversial Bank Capital Proposal READ MORE TSX Futures Stagnate as Investors Weigh Gold Decline Against Fed Signals READ MORE Powell Warns of Extended High Interest Rates in Face of Persistent Inflation READ MORE How Much Gold Do I Need To Retire? 1oz Per Month?
