Bhanu Baweja, chief strategist at UBS, wrote in the Financial Times that gold's rally may continue because central banks' rising gold demand and loss of confidence in US finances have become new structural supports for the metal's price. [1] The Bank of Russia sold 6 tonnes of gold in July 2026 and 50 tonnes since the beginning of 2026, reducing its total gold reserves to 2,277 tonnes, per WGC data. [2] The People's Bank of China purchased 20 tonnes of gold in July 2026, and its monthly gold purchases have been in double digits since May 2026, according to WGC data. [3] World Gold Council data showed that global central banks made net gold purchases of 23 tonnes in July 2026. [4] Baweja cited two periods showing the breakdown: from March 2022 to October 2023, US five-year real yields rose by more than 4 percentage points but gold rose 7% instead of falling about 55% as the historical relationship implied; in the following two years, real yields fell by less than 1 percentage point while gold rose 110%. [5] Global gold prices remain high after retreating from their winter 2025-2026 peaks. [6]

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Friday, September 4, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world2 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
