Commodities Buzz: Global central banks add net 15 tonnes of Gold to their reserves in Aug-25

Global central banks added a net 15 tons of gold to their reserves in August, according to data from the World Gold Council (WGC). The figure matches the monthly average recorded between March and June, indicating a return to purchasing after a brief pause in July. The WGC data shows that despite record-high gold prices in 2025 may have tempered some central bank activity, demand remains resilient. Countries expanding their gold holdings in August included Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, China, Bulgaria, Ghana, and the Czech Republic.
