Summary of article from The Business Times on China's secretive gold purchases help fuel record

Main situation

• China's authorities reported a small percentage of the country's official gold purchases, such as June ~ 2.2 tons, July and August ~ 1.9 tons / month - relatively low and "unbelievable" figures, according to analysts.

• However, analysts at Société Générale estimate that China may buy "up to ~ 250 tons" of gold within the year, accounting for more than 1 / 3 of the demand for gold purchased by central banks worldwide.

• The implication is that unreported purchases reveal that China is taking "behind the scenes" to reduce its dependence on the U.S. dollar and diversify its holdings.

Factors and effects

• Since China's actual purchases are still obscure, the "secretive purchases" have caused the bullion market to have demand uncertainty, which has helped to drive up the price of gold significantly.

• China's implementation helps to understand why the gold price is setting a new record because it has greater buying force - both official and informal - without revealing clearly.

• For investors and markets: The ambiguity of demand from China makes "global demand assessment" more difficult and may cause gold to be viewed as a more attractive asset as a hedge in a state of change in the global financial system.

Remarks

• Although China's official numbers seem inconsistent with the picture, the analysis suggests that the actual numbers may be "hidden" and much higher - reflecting China's policy trend of reducing the U.S. dollar's role in reserve property.

• For the gold market: Having a "big buyer behind" such as China allows the market to have additional supporting conditions in the medium term, despite short-term volatility due to uncertainty of data and expectations (expectations) from market players.

... Read moreการซื้อทองคำอย่างลับๆ ของจีนเป็นปรากฏการณ์ที่สร้างความสนใจอย่างมากในตลาดทองคำโลก เพราะแม้ตัวเลขอย่างเป็นทางการจะแสดงยอดที่ต่ำ แต่การวิเคราะห์ลึกพบว่าจีนอาจซ่อนยอดซื้อมากถึง 250 ตัน ซึ่งมากกว่าหนึ่งในสามของความต้องการทองคำที่ธนาคารกลางทั่วโลกซื้อในปีเดียวกัน การซื้อทองคำจำนวนมากนี้ช่วยเปิดเผยแนวทางเชิงยุทธศาสตร์ของจีนในการลดความเสี่ยงจากการถือครองเงินดอลลาร์สหรัฐฯ อันเนื่องจากความผันผวนและการเปลี่ยนแปลงของระบบการเงินโลก การกระจายสินทรัพย์ไปยังกองทุนทองคำจึงเป็นวิธีหนึ่งที่จีนใช้เพื่อสร้างเสถียรภาพในทรัพย์สินสำรอง และยังเป็นสัญญาณให้ตลาดเห็นถึงความเข้มแข็งในการบริหารจัดการสินทรัพย์ของประเทศ หนึ่งในผลกระทบที่เด่นชัดคือการเพิ่มความไม่แน่นอนในอุปสงค์ของทองคำ ซึ่งส่งผลให้ราคาทองคำมีการเคลื่อนไหวอย่างรวดเร็วและสร้างสถิติสูงสุดใหม่ ผู้เล่นในตลาดทองคำจึงต้องจับตามองการซื้อขายและความเคลื่อนไหวจากจีนอย่างใกล้ชิด เนื่องจากการแสดงออกก่อนเวลาอาจไม่สอดคล้องกับยอดซื้อจริง ส่งผลต่อการประเมินค่าของสินทรัพย์ทองคำทั่วโลก สำหรับนักลงทุน นี่คือโอกาสสำคัญในการเห็นทองคำเป็นเครื่องมือป้องกันความเสี่ยงที่น่าสนใจยิ่งขึ้นเมื่อระบบการเงินโลกยังคงประสบกับการเปลี่ยนแปลงและความไม่แน่นอน การจับตาแนวโน้มและการวิเคราะห์ข้อมูลข่าวสารอย่างรอบคอบจะช่วยให้สามารถรับมือกับความผันผวนได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ ในภาพรวม การซื้อทองคำของจีนที่มีลักษณะเป็นความลับนี้ จึงไม่เพียงแค่ส่งผลต่อราคาทองคำเท่านั้น แต่ยังสะท้อนนโยบายการเงินและเศรษฐกิจที่ต้องการเสริมความมั่นคงและลดความเปราะบางทางการเงินของประเทศในระยะยาว Anleger und Marktteilnehmer พึงระวังความไม่แน่นอนนี้เพื่อวางแผนการลงทุนได้อย่างรอบคอบ โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งคำว่า "การซื้อทองคำอย่างลับๆ ของจีน" (secretive gold purchases) และคำว่า "ราคาทองคำพุ่งทำสถิติสูงสุด" ยังเป็นประเด็นที่นักวิเคราะห์ เศรษฐกิจ และนักลงทุนทั่วโลกให้ความสนใจอย่างมาก เนื่องจากเป็นตัวแทนของพลังอำนาจทางการเงินที่เปลี่ยนผ่านในตลาดโลกระหว่างประเทศอย่างชัดเจน
