China Boosts Gold Reserves and Weakens Yuan

In recent months, China has significantly increased its gold reserves while simultaneously weakening its national currency, the yuan. Actions taken by the People's Bank of China could have long-term implications for the global economy.

China's Gold Reserves

According to official data, the People's Bank of China is increasing its gold reserves for the second consecutive month. The gold volume reached 73.29 million troy ounces after a six-month pause in purchases. The reserve increase is linked to the dollar's decline following Donald Trump's election. Before that, gold prices had reached record highs thanks to U.S. monetary policy easing.

Gold Price Stability and Market

Gold is currently priced at around $2,634 an ounce after slight dips. Increased U.S. Treasury yields are meeting a weakening dollar, creating market volatility. Bullish bets on gold have fallen to a six-month low. Goldman Sachs postponed its forecast for gold to reach $3,000 an ounce to mid-2026.

Sliding Yuan: China's Strategy

Alongside increasing gold reserves, China is allowing its national currency, the yuan, to weaken. In December, the yuan fell to 7.3 per dollar, making it weaker than it has been in recent times. This may be a strategic move to ease economic burdens. Chinese state banks, typically supporting the yuan's stability, temporarily stopped purchasing dollars to let traders push the currency further down.

China's strategy of increasing gold reserves and allowing the yuan to weaken suggests a potential new direction in economic policy. These changes could significantly impact global financial markets in the near future.
