Central banks are backing gold with their balance sheets, not just their words
AI Market Summary
Surveys from the World Gold Council and OMFIF indicate central banks and reserve managers are increasingly prioritizing gold, with a record 45% expecting to raise gold reserves over the next year. The emphasis on observed balance-sheet actions, not just intentions, reinforces the narrative of diversification away from traditional reserve assets amid financial fragmentation. This supports gold's role as a strategic reserve holding and can bolster near-term demand sentiment.

Actions are doing the talking in the gold market heading into the second half of the year. Two recent central bank surveys delivered a clear signal: the World Gold Council reported a record 45% of central banks expect to increase their own gold reserves over the next 12 months, and OMFIF's annual poll found reserve managers continue to rank gold among their favored reserve assets as they diversify in an increasingly fragmented global financial system.
Surveys capture intentions. What has unfolded since then has added real weight to that message, as central bank balance sheets increasingly reflect a preference for gold. Full story at Kitco.
