Poland Leads 2026 Central-Bank Gold Buying as Russia Sells

Central banks reported 39 tonnes of net gold buying in August, bringing year-to-date purchases to 170 tonnes. Poland leads with 98 tonnes, ahead of China at 80 tonnes, while Russia has sold 56 tonnes and Turkey 82 tonnes. The divergence challenges any simple narrative of uniform official-sector accumulation.
