According to the World Gold Council report, the world's official gold reserves increased by 166 tons in the second quarter of this year, which is at an all-time high. From 2022 to 2024, the annual gold purchase volume of global central banks exceeded 1,000 tons for three consecutive years. Experts said that promoting diversification of reserve assets has become the general trend of central banks around the world. In response to the interest rate cut signal released by the Federal Reserve, central banks in many countries may continue the trend of increasing their gold holdings. Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, said that recently, gold has surpassed the euro to become the second largest reserve asset in the world. Central banks are speeding up de-dollarization to spread risk, while the price of gold continues to break through high levels. The World Gold Council's “2025 Global Central Bank Gold Reserve Survey” also shows that 95% of the central banks surveyed expect the world's official gold reserves to increase in the next 12 months, and 43% of central banks said they will also increase their gold holdings.
