Notably, China continued to buy a record amount of gold worth 961 million USD in November from Russia, this is the second consecutive month that gold exports from Russia to China have exceeded 900 million USD. Gold buying rates also seemed to increase sharply at the end of the year.
In October, France's Societe Generale estimated, based on the difference between imported bullion, domestically produced gold and official reserves, that the actual amount of gold that Beijing may have purchased had increased 10 times compared to the figure of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) - an increase of 250 tons instead of 25 tons.
This analysis is based on UK gold exports, one of the most reliable indicators of physical gold flows. This index shows that China has added more than 1,080 tons of gold to its reserves since mid-2022.
According to J.P. Morgan (one of the world's largest financial - banking corporations, headquartered in the US), after a year of unprecedentedly strong price increases, the global gold market is expected to continue to maintain an upward trend in 2026.
According to the latest report from J.P. Morgan Global Research believes gold could average $5,055 an ounce by the fourth quarter of 2026, driven by persistent demand from investors and central banks, along with the emergence of new demand sources.
In 2025, gold prices have hit new peaks many times and surpassed the $4,000/ounce mark for the first time. The main driving force comes from strong cash flow into gold ETFs, central bank buying demand and investor asset diversification in the context of declining US interest rates and weakening the USD.
