⚠️Chinese investors are liquidating their gold positions
Gold prices have fallen ~8% since their peak
Chinese investors reduced gold futures positions by ~1 million ounces on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) and the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE), near the most on record.

Gold hitting record highs
The price of gold keeps heating up. If the record-breaking year of 2024 wasn't enough, gold hit a major historic 2025 milestone by crossing the $3,000/ounce threshold!
Here are 3 Key Reasons:
Looming economic & political uncertainty
Increasing central bank demand
Rising National Debt - over $36 Trillion
So, could gold surge even higher?
According to a recent statement from Jeffrey Gundlach, famed American business man and investor… “Gold continues its bull market that we’ve been talking about for a couple of years, ever since it was down to $1,800.” He expects gold to reach $4,000/oz.

This comes after they added a record 1.2 million ounces of positioning on April 22.
This was when the gold prices surpassed $3,500 for the first time ever.
Since then, gold prices have fallen ~8% likely driven by Chinese traders liquidating their futures positions and other investors realizing profits.
Nevertheless, gold prices are still up ~25% year-to-date and the long-term thesis remains intact.
Lastly, as you can see, Chinese investors have not been selling their gold ETF positions.
🔥Chinese investors have NEVER been more bullish on gold:
Chinese gold-backed ETFs saw a record 40,000 MILLION yuan in inflows in April.
Chinese investors are hedging against historic economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
Some forecasts point to a $5,000 LT target.
