Central-bank buying in the first nine months reached 675 tonnes, up 6% from the same period of 2025. Total worldwide third-quarter demand, including over-the-counter transactions, was about 1,369 tonnes, down 1% year on year.
Gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted around 211 tonnes. Demand for bars and coins fell 19% to 268 tonnes, while jewellery consumption declined 17% to roughly 313 tonnes amid high prices.
The quarterly average LBMA PM gold price was $4,262 per troy ounce, the organisation reported. These figures describe global market trends and do not constitute a forecast or investment advice.
