Central banks see gold at $6,000. Is this the last chance to buy at a discount?

The article discusses the increasing purchase of gold by central banks worldwide, citing recent reports from the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF) and the World Gold Council. It highlights that 82% of surveyed central banks now hold physical gold in their reserves, compared to 71% a year earlier. The trend has accelerated, with central banks buying gold at current prices rather than waiting for price fluctuations. The article notes that geopolitical uncertainty, particularly conflicts in the Middle East and unpredictability in U.S. administration policies, is driving this shift. Gold is increasingly seen as a more stable asset than paper money, especially in a multipolar financial system where trust in fiat currencies is declining.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 60): Factuality is high as the article references the OMFIF report and discusses central banks buying gold, aligning with the primary source.
