China cumpără aur fără oprire. Ce înseamnă asta

China's central bank has been consistently purchasing gold for 23 months, aiming to reduce reliance on the US dollar. In the first eight months of 2026, China imported over 1,000 tons of gold, spending $158.8 billion. This trend reflects both a political strategy and a response to economic uncertainty, as households turn to gold amid declining real estate and stock markets. Despite a drop in gold prices, demand remains strong, providing support for international prices. Analysts predict that strong Chinese demand will continue to influence gold prices positively in the near future, although China's gold reserves still lag behind those of the US.
