The Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) is the largest purely physical spot gold and silver exchange in the world.
While the broader global wholesale spot market primarily operates over-the-counter (OTC) through the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the SGE stands as the largest dedicated, formalized exchange platform for physical spot precious metals trading.

Article from June 26th

"Gold fell roughly 5% this week to $4,044 per ounce — its sharpest weekly loss of 2026. Central bank gold buying in 2026 tells the opposite story. The World Gold Council’s annual Central Bank Gold Reserves Survey, published June 16, 2026 and covering 76 institutions, found that 89% of reserve managers expect global gold holdings to increase over the next 12 months. A record 45% plan to add to their own reserves. That is the most bullish result in the nine-year history of the report.

Two numbers. One week. They point in opposite directions. Understanding why tells you more about gold’s long-term trajectory than any single price chart."

  • Discrepancy in Volumes: While China officially reported buying only 10 tonnes of gold in specific months (such as May), Goldman Sachs models estimated actual acquisitions closer to 48 tonnes.
  • Off-Balance-Sheet Accumulation: Analysts note that China keeps thousands of tonnes 'off the books' in separate entities like the State Administration for Foreign Exchange (SAFE), only drip-feeding small amounts into official PBOC figures over time.
  • Motivations for De-Dollarization: This aggressive, covert stockpiling is tied to a multi-year structural strategy by Beijing to diversify reserves away from U.S. dollar assets and insulate against potential Western financial sanction
