BREAKING: China bought +10 tonnes of gold in May, the largest monthly addition since January 2025.
This follows +8 tonnes acquired in April, marking their 3rd consecutive monthly net purchase.
China has now bought gold for 19 consecutive months, the longest streak since at least 2015, when its central bank began publishing more regular data on its gold reserves.
This brings China's official gold reserves to a record 2,331 tonnes, worth over 9% of their total FX reserves.
The country is also the 3rd-largest central bank buyer year-to-date, after Poland and Uzbekistan, with a total of +27 tonnes added.
China’s demand for gold is accelerating.

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa says they have new Switch 2 titles for the holidays/ early 2027 that have not yet been announced!
"While it would be ideal to deliver new titles more frequently and in a more timely manner, as you pointed out, software development periods have become longer compared to the past. Even under these circumstances, we will continue to implement various initiatives, such as refining our development systems and processes, so that many titles can be enjoyed on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Furthermore, regardless of whether it is considered a major title or not, we are preparing a variety of new titles for the Nintendo Switch 2.
In addition, for the lineup for the second half of this fiscal year, we have prepared new titles beyond those already announced, and we will provide details at the appropriate time."
