Have you heard about China's Gold reserve

China released data on its gold holdings for the first time in about six years, but investors say the guessing game about the country’s actual inventory continues. The People’s Bank of China on Friday published figures on its gold reserves for the first time since 2009. Its official gold reserves stood at
53.3 million ounces, or 1,658 metric tons, in June. The last time China reported official figures was in April 2009. Back then, the figure stood at 1,054 metric tons, according to Ross Norman, chief executive officer at Sharps Pixley. The latest total is about half what the market thought it was. The market was generally expecting a total of well over 3,000 metric tons.
