“Gold is already up by more than 9% so far this year and has hit a series of consecutive record highs along the way. While the uncertainty over trade and tariffs continues to boost Gold prices, Trump’s latest comments that the US take over the Gaza Strip and assume responsibility for reconstructing the territory have added to Gold’s bullish momentum.”
“Meanwhile, central banks’ buying last year exceeded 1,000 tonnes for the third year in a row, accelerating sharply in the fourth quarter to 333 tonnes and bringing the net annual total to 1,045 tonnes, according to the latest data from the World Gold Council.”
“The National Bank of Poland led the charge, adding 90 tonnes to its Gold reserves last year, but demand was seen from a broad range of emerging market banks.”
