【Gold prices have recently declined somewhat, Experts: Central banks increasing gold holdings is the main trend】Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst of Orient Credit Rating, said that the recent continuous increase in central banks' gold reserves is mainly driven by the need to optimize international reserve structures, and the trend of central banks increasing gold holdings is still the main direction in the future. After continuously reaching new record highs in the past, gold prices have declined somewhat recently. Liu Siyuan, chief analyst of Lingxiu Finance, believes that the future monetary policy moves of the Federal Reserve will continue to be an important driver of gold prices, and geopolitics and other factors contain large uncertainties. The hedging attribute of gold is expected to further push up its price close to US$2,500 per ounce.
