China Gold Buying Far Exceeds Official PBOC Reports, Goldman Sachs Data Shows

Goldman Sachs data shows China's gold buying far exceeds official PBOC figures as U.S. Treasury holdings drop to 2008 lows.

  • Goldman Sachs data suggests China's actual gold purchases significantly exceed official PBOC reports, with OTC market data indicating much higher volumes than officially disclosed.
  • Concurrently, China's holdings of U.S. Treasuries have fallen to their lowest point since 2008, signaling a broader trend of reserve diversification.
  • Increased activity in Shanghai gold futures, reaching five-year highs in open interest, further underscores strong domestic investor interest in gold.
