(Kitco citing Russian central bank press release)
- buying another 200,000 ounces or 6 tonnes of gold in May
- total Russia total gold holding now at 2,190 tonnes (as of June 1)
Russia is not, of course, the only buyer, China (and others) have been huge buyers as reported in March, April, May (and further back!). For example:
- (March) Chinese gold reserves - March buying of 11.2 tons of gold
- (April) China stashing away more gold - bullion reserves up for a 5th straight month
- (May) China - gold purchases running higher.
