Central Banks Extend Gold-Buying Streak
Reserve managers added meaningfully to gold holdings again last quarter, sustaining a multi-year accumulation trend.
The Diversification Theme
- Emerging-market central banks are leading the charge.
- Geopolitical risk has elevated the appeal of a neutral reserve asset.
- Gold's share of global reserves continues to creep higher.
Price Impact
Persistent official buying provides a structural floor under prices, even when speculative flows wobble.
