Gold Trading Surges in China Amid Economic Uncertainty
Gold Trading Surges in China
Gold trading in Mainland China has seen a significant surge, reaching 20 million ounces in early 2024, marking a notable increase from the 10 million ounces in previous years. This rise is attributed to a retail investment boom, as highlighted by the World Gold Council’s report, which noted 336 tons of gold demand in Q1 2024, despite a 36% year-over-year decrease. The surge is further driven by strong inflows into Chinese gold ETFs, enhancing trading activity.
Global Economic Factors and Gold Prices
In early 2025, economic uncertainty, fueled by President Trump’s trade tariffs, particularly the 145% tariff on Chinese products, led to a global gold demand surge. Gold prices reached $3,500 per ounce, achieving its second consecutive all-time high in 2025.
Dan Tapiero on Bitcoin's Potential
Renowned investor Dan Tapiero suggests that Chinese investors, barred from Bitcoin since 2021, are driving the gold surge. He believes this indicates Bitcoin’s early-stage potential, positioning the U.S. as the crypto capital due to its favorable environment, unlike China and Europe’s hostility towards Bitcoin.
