金价不刹车

Core Viewpoint - The international gold price has been fluctuating around the $2900 per ounce mark, with potential to reach $3000 per ounce, driven by global economic and political uncertainties [1][2]. Group 1: Central Bank Gold Purchases - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has increased its gold reserves for four consecutive months since November 2024, holding 2289.53 tons as of February 2025, with a modest increase of 4.98 tons in February [3][4]. - The PBOC's gold purchases are influenced by the need to optimize international reserve structure, as the gold reserve proportion in China's official reserves is only 5.5%, significantly lower than the global average of around 15% [4][6]. - Other central banks globally are also showing interest in gold purchases, although the pace has slowed, with a net purchase of 18 tons in January 2025, down from the previous year [6][7]. Group 2: Future Gold Price Predictions - Analysts predict that the international gold price may reach a new high of $3100 per ounce within the year, supported by ongoing global uncertainties and expected inflows into overseas gold ETFs [2][8]. - The current fluctuations in gold prices are attributed to U.S. economic policy uncertainties and potential recession risks, with short-term price movements expected between $2870 and $2950 per ounce [8][9]. - Long-term investment in gold is considered valuable due to its low correlation with other assets and the protective cushion provided by fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate [10].
