डब्ल्यूजीसी (WGC) के मार्केट इंटेलिजेंस के प्रमुख एलिस्टेयर हेविट के अनुसार कई देशों के सेंट्रल बैंकों की तरफ से गोल्ड की भारी डिमांड (gold demand) है। इनका मानना है कि चालू वित्तीय वर्ष में कई देशों की तरफ से गोल्ड की मांग (gold demand) बनी रहेगी।
India’s central bank is likely to join counterparts in Russia and China scooping up gold this year, adding to its record holdings and lending support to worldwide bullion demand as top economies diversify their reserves.
The gold market was caught by surprise when two of eastern Europe’s biggest economies, Poland and Hungary, made rare purchases in recent months. Why central banks buy gold is often a major topic of market speculation. Were Poland and Hungary signaling worries about economic conditions? Were they cutting exposure to the dollar? Or maybe hedging against potential European Union sanctions?
Central banks are set to increase their purchases of gold in 2018 for the first time in five years as eastern European and Asian countries seek to diversify their reserves.
