China's central bank gold reserves climbed to 74.96 million ounces in Q2 2026 (latest data as of April), steadily increasing by 320,000 ounces from the previous month and extending a strong long-term accumulation trend. Amidst the intertwining of a strong US dollar and geopolitical risks, this move highlights the official strategic intent to accelerate the diversification of foreign exchange reserves. Experts expect there is still considerable room for further accumulation in the future.
