The World Gold Council reported third quarter central bank buying last week with a shock that could mean China weaponizes gold as early as 2023. Here you see in the report, buying of gold for national bank reserves jumped 300% from the same period last year. In fact, central banks bought more gold than anytime in the last 55 years when the U.S. was still on the gold standard. More than 400 tons of gold was bought and hoarded by government central banks.

The question then is why is China building a massive and secret hoard of gold and should we be worried?

The most obvious answer is as a response to the U.S. and a play on China dominance. When the U.S. weaponized the dollar earlier this year by cutting off Russia from its foreign reserve holdings held internationally, it sent a shock through the global economic system. It had never been done before and I guarantee you, China is looking for alternatives considering it holds about three trillion US dollars in reserve.

So first, China is likely trying to secretly shift its reserves from dollars to gold but there’s also another motive here. Hoarding gold may be a move to partially back its own currency or a digital currency, giving it more credibility as a reserve currency.
