China central bank top buyer
China is the leading driver for both consumer demand and central bank gold purchases, and the country’s not likely to slow down.
Among central banks, the People’s Bank of China was the largest buyer of gold in 2023. China’s weak economy and embattled real estate sector also drove more investors toward the safe-haven asset, with individual gold investment remaining robust, WGC said.
Poland’s central bank was the second-largest net consumer of gold, snapping up 130 tons of bullion in 2023.
Challenges of the Russia-Ukraine war “just right next door” drives Poland’s desire for stability, said Wheaton Precious Metals CEO Randy Smallwood.
Poland’s central bank governor Adam Glapiński in 2021 had announced plans to buy 100 tons of gold in a bid to boost the country’s financial security, according to local media reports.
Singapore recorded the third highest net gold purchases in 2023, driven by purchases by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which bought 76.51 tons.
While MAS did not disclose the reason for the investment decision, Fan surmised that central banks across the board have been wary of the geopolitical risks from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“They have probably been adjusting reserve allocations in accordance to their views on risk,” he said.
Retail purchases
Stronger gold prices were also driven by retail purchases of jewelry, bars and coins.
On top of the People’s Bank of China buying the most gold amongst the world’s central banks, the country also recorded the highest amount of retail gold purchases.
“At the retail consumer level, China was a major factor in strong demand for gold last year as individuals moved into gold to diversify from other asset classes,” Fan said.
According to data from the World Gold Council, China overtook India to become the world’s largest gold jewelry buyer in 2023. Chinese consumers bought 603 tons of gold jewelry last year, a 10% increase from 2022.
Alongside China, consumer demand for gold in India is also one of the world’s biggest, said Smallwood, especially during India’s wedding season, which runs typically from October to December, and between January and March.
“Gold is always the highest form of value gift that you can actually give someone within India. It’s a real big part of the wedding season,” he said.
People buy jewellery at a showroom on the occasion of Akshay Tritiya, at PP jewellers Karol Bagh on May 3, 2022 in New Delhi, India. Gold prices were flat on Friday and poised for a fourth consecutive monthly drop, as an elevated U.S. dollar and aggressive monetary policies from top central banks continued to erode demand for bullion.
While India’s jewelry demand should continue to be significant, more expensive gold could put some dent in that spending, WGC said. India’s gold jewelry consumption demand dipped 6% to 562.3 tons in 2023 from a year earlier.
That said, India’s investment in gold bars and coins grew 7% year on year. The country’s central bank demand for gold also continues to be strong, with the Reserve Bank of India purchasing 8.7 tons of gold in January, marking the highest monthly purchase since July 2022.
Aside from China and India, Turkey’s gold demand last year almost doubled that of 2022, according to WGC records.
Unrelenting consumer inflation, limited available alternative investment and domestic political uncertainty during the presidential elections last year drove Turkey’s demand for the yellow metal.
Turkish lira trading at record low against the greenback
“Turkey recorded strong retail demand as well, with investors piling into gold during the presidential election last year to protect against potential volatility in the Turkish lira,” Fan added.
Turkish annual consumer price inflation recently surged to 67.07% in February. The Turkish lira lost 40% of its value against the dollar in the past year, and is currently trading at a record low against the dollar.

(UMC) transition to the main market is progressing well on track, according to executive director/chief executive officer Lim Taw Seong.
“We believe that this strategical move is poised to unlock vast new opportunities for us to further growth and expand which underscores our continuous commitment in bringing excellence towards healthcare catering to the evolving needs of the industry,” Lim said in a statement.
“As we continue to expand, we have also started to ramp up our efforts by strengthening our workforce in anticipation of the imminent launch of our new facility slated to commence production in the coming months.
“The new factory will not only double our manufacturing capabilities but also enable us to meet the rising demand for medical consumables globally enabling us to better grow our regional footprint and propel us to new heights,” he added.

High chance this will RISE from today.
KUALA LUMPUR (March 12): Phillip Capital has maintained its “buy” rating on UMediC Group Bhd at 66 sen with a higher target price (TP) of RM1.08 (from 87 sen) and said UMediC’s 6MFY24 core net profit of RM5.3 million (+7.8% y-o-y) was in line with house forecast but missed consensus estimates.
In a note on Tuesday, the research house said the sequential earnings improvement was mainly driven by better margins from the manufacturing and distribution segments.
“We raise our target price to RM1.08 (from 87 sen) after rolling forward our valuation horizon to FY25, based on unchanged 25x PE multiple.
“We expect the commencement of new factory and product launches to drive stronger earnings delivery ahead.
“Key risks include slowdown in medical equipment demand, and the loss of license,” it said.

Target Price: RM0.180, RM0.190
Last closing price: RM0.165
Potential return: 9.0%, 15.1%
Support: RM0.160
Stop Loss: RM0.145
Possible for trend reversal. AURO is potentially staging a breakaway from its downtrend, with anticipation of continuous improvement in both momentum and trend in the near term. Should immediate resistance level of RM0.180 be broken with renewed buying interest, it may continue to lift price higher to subsequent resistance level of RM0.190.
However, failure to hold on to support level of RM0.160 may indicate weakness in the share price and hence, a cut-loss signal.
