China breaks gold records

This image is no longer relevant

In a comment on Twitter, Krishan Gopaul, senior European, Middle East and Asian market analyst, said that China's central bank bought 15 tonnes of gold last month; this follows 32 tonnes of gold bought in December and 30 tonnes bought in November.

This increases the country's total gold reserves to 2,025 tonnes.

Prior to its latest purchases, China has not reported any change in its gold holdings since 2019.

Analysts suggest that China will continue to buy gold throughout 2023 as it hopes to boost international confidence and stability of the yuan and challenge the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. Last year, China began urging Middle Eastern countries to accept yuan for oil. China is the world's largest oil importer.

The World Gold Council noted that during China's last shopping spree, the central bank stockpiled 1,448 tonnes of gold between 2002 and 2019.

Central bank demand for gold is likely to continue to support gold prices throughout 2023. And the global trend toward de-dollarization will continue this year.

Emerging central banks, on average, hold about two-thirds of their reserves in dollar-denominated assets and less than 5% in gold. And they would like to change this ratio in favor of gold.

China is just one of the countries that is ramping up its gold purchases. Last month, the World Gold Council noted that central banks bought 417 tonnes of gold in the fourth quarter of last year.

Although China has attracted a lot of attention for its gold purchases, Turkey was the most active in the precious metals market last year.

According to the WGC, the Central Bank of Turkey bought 148 tonnes of gold last year.

In total, central banks bought 1,136 tonnes of gold last year, the most since 1967 and the second most since 1955.

AUD/USD。分析與預測

AUD/USD匯率正試圖在從0.5900心理水平的反彈中吸引買家,這是自2020年3月以來的最低點。受美國總統唐納德·特朗普暫停徵收關稅的樂觀情緒推動,這波上升勢頭已經克服了0.6200的整數關口。

歐元勢如破竹,反對者節節敗退

歐洲股票指數上揚、美國通脹放緩,加上美國平均關稅在90天的延遲期內未有顯著變化,這些因素皆促成了歐元兌美元(EUR/USD)的上升。該主要貨幣對似乎已準備好恢復其上升趨勢,並且似乎不太關心德國經濟的放緩或歐洲央行即將進行的存款利率下調。
