Consumer demand
Chinese gold demand skews toward 24-karat jewelry valued by weight rather than design premium. Lunar New Year and wedding season drive seasonal flows.
Precious metals intelligence
China Gold Demand
China is one of the two largest gold-consuming markets and has become a major central-bank buyer. Its demand mix differs meaningfully from Western flows.
PBoC reserves
The People Bank of China has added gold to reserves over multiple years. Reported additions tend to understate true holdings because of unreported reserve transactions.
SGE pricing
The Shanghai Gold Exchange spot premium over London prices is a useful real-time signal of Chinese physical demand strength.
