The mystery behind the gold buying surge revealed! The central bank is aggressively increasing its holdings, and a surge in gold prices is just around the corner? In February 2026, global central banks net bought 19 tons of gold, slightly up from 5 tons in January, but still far below the 2025 monthly average of 26 tons. These numbers may seem ordinary, but for the big players, they hide significant market signals. Especially since the Czech Republic has been net buying gold for 36 consecutive months, and China has been increasing its gold holdings for 16 consecutive months. What does this mean? These central banks not only recognize the value of gold but are also positioning themselves in advance.
