Central Banks Add 1,200 Tonnes of Gold in 2026, Reshaping Global Reserves

2026-10-30, FP360 — Central bank gold purchases hit a record 1,200 tonnes in 2026, driven by de-dollarization and reserve diversification, pushing gold to $3,850/oz, up 32% year-to-date. This surge reflects a structural shift in global reserves, with emerging markets leading the charge, impacting gold miners, the dollar, and liquidity.

The Signal: Gold's rally is set to continue as central bank demand provides a floor, but watch for potential profit-taking and dollar stabilization.
