BREAKING: China’s central bank increased its gold holdings by 5 tonnes in March, posting their 5th consecutive monthly purchase.

This brings total China’s gold reserves to a record 2,292 tonnes.

Chinese gold holdings now reflect 6.5% of its total official reserve assets.

According to Goldman Sachs, China actually purchased a whopping 50 tonnes of gold in February, or 10 times more than officially reported.

Over the last 3 years, China's purchases of gold on the London OTC market have significantly surpassed officially reported numbers.

China is accumulating gold at a rapid pace.

It’s been a quiet 3-day weekend on the tariff front:

Heading into the weekend, markets were expecting more “deals” or deal progress to be announced.

With the S&P 500 nearly 10% above its recent low, markets have already priced-in a sizable portion of tariffs dropping off.

This has resulted in a “no news is bad news” backdrop for equities.

Meanwhile, we’ve yet to hear of any material trade developments since Thursday with futures opening in less than 4 hours.

All while we are now 11 days into the 90-day reciprocal tariff pause with earnings season in full swing.

All signs point to more volatility this week.

Absolutely incredible:

Gold with ANOTHER all time high and set to cross above $3,400/oz for the first time in history.

Gold is now officially up +100% since 2020 compared to a +86% gain in the S&P 500.

That’s right, gold is OUTPERFORMING the S&P 500 since the pandemic.

Truly historic.

On a casual Sunday night:

Gold has hit its 55th all time high in 12 months and Bitcoin is officially joining the run, now above $87,000.

The narrative in both Gold and Bitcoin is aligning for the first time in years:

Gold and Bitcoin are telling us that a weaker US Dollar are more uncertainty are on the way.
