Global Gold Purchases Hit A New Record

Gold Reaching $3000

According to a post uploaded by the Kobeissi Letter, central banks’ global net purchases of gold have breached the 480-tonne mark. The portal further pointed out stellar AUX statistics, indicative of global central banks purchasing nearly 480 metric tons of gold in the first half of 2024.

“BREAKING: Global net gold purchases by central banks reached 483 metric tons in the first half of 2024, the most on record.”

Furthermore, the portal shared how the global bank gold purchase has spiked 5% as compared to the AUX purchases made in 2023.

“This is 5% higher than the previous record of 460 tons set in the first half of 2023. In Q2 2024, central banks bought 183 tons of gold, marking a 6% year-over-year increase.On the other hand, this was 39% lower than the 300 metric tons of purchases seen in Q1.”

The global bank gold buying spree was spurred by multiple factors. For instance, changing geopolitical narratives were the primary harbingers of this change. Apart from this, the constant devaluation of the US dollar also played a pivotal role in pushing investors into exploring alternate assets such as gold.

Often dubbed as a capable hedge against inflation, the consistent fluctuations in the price of USD were also a strong undertone fueling the global banks’ gold buying spree.

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange.

MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off.

But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have pushe
