This marks a shift from earlier in the year when the PBOC halted buying due to price sensitivity after gold prices rose above $2400. The renewed buying suggests a continued effort to diversify away from US dollars, and it is expected to positively impact gold prices, especially during this favorable seasonal period for gold.
