Central Banks Accelerate Gold Buying Amid Persistent Dollar Unease

September 2025 | Reserve Strategy Bulletin Central banks continue to aggressively accumulate gold as part of a deliberate strategy to hedge against geopolitical and monetary uncertainty. The World Gold Council reports that 95% of central banks expect to increase their gold holdings over the next 12 months, with three years of annual purchasing exceeding 1,000 tonnes. Leading this charge are Poland—now holding nearly 497 tonnes (21% of its reserves)—and China, which quietly added 13 tonnes in Q1 2025, bringing its official total close to 2,292 tonnes, though unreported holdings may be significantly higher. Other nations in the mix include Kazakhstan, Czech Republic, India, Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, and Azerbaijan. This sustained demand has instilled a robust price floor, cushioning gold against broader market pullbacks and supporting its rally above $3,500–$3,600 per ounce. From a market vantage point, traders should stay alert to central bank disclosures, geopolitical flashpoints (e.g., sanctions, policy shifts), and gold ETF flow data. Opportunities may arise in gold miners, leveraged gold products, and FX instruments tied to safe-haven demand.
