WGC Report: Central bank gold statistics March 2025
Central banks reported 17t of net buying in March via the IMF and other public data sources. Demand remains strong as the first quarter of the year ends: monthly gross purchases of 35t were offset by gross sales of 18t, with Uzbekistan reporting net sales of 11t.
March changes by country
Notably, National Bank of Poland was the largest reported net buyer this month (16t), followed by National Bank of Kazakhstan (11t) and People’s Bank of China (3t). Czech Republic (2t) and Turkey (1t) also added to their gold reserves in March. Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan was the largest net seller (11t) for the month, followed by Singapore (5t) and Kyrgyzstan (2t)
Year-to-date changes by country
Poland is the largest reported net buyer in 2025 so far (49t) followed by Azerbaijan** (19t) and China (13t) over the same period. In the first quarter of 2025, Uzbekistan reported largest net sales (15t), followed by Singapore (5t), Kyrgyzstan (4t) and Russia (3t).
US spot Gold prices climbed above $4,250 early Monday, touching a six-week high as investors turned cautious ahead of the upcoming US ISM Manufacturing PMI release. The yellow metal is poised for further upside momentum if it secures a sustained daily close above the crucial $4,250 resistance level.
The US Dollar opened December on a softer note, pressured by rising expectations that the Federal Reserve may announce a rate cut next week. Growing market confidence in easing monetary conditions has boosted the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold.
Analysts note that a decisive break and close above $4,250 could reinforce bullish sentiment and pave the way for an extended rally in the days ahead. As global markets await fresh cues from the US economic calendar, gold continues to benefit from a favorable macroeconomic backdrop and robust safe-haven demand.
