China’s Central Bank Uses Gold Imports to Manage Currency Appreciation Amid Trade War

Published: 05-09-2025, 04:00 pm | Updated: 05-09-2025, 11:54 am

China’s central bank (PBOC) has authorized commercial banks to purchase foreign currencies specifically for gold imports following an expansion of gold import quotas last month. This strategic move comes as gold prices have rallied amid market volatility caused by President Trump’s trade war, which has also strengthened Asian currencies as investors move away from U.S. dollars. The policy adjustment serves a dual purpose: helping meet increased demand for gold while simultaneously easing the yuan’s appreciation, which has been hurting Chinese exporters already struggling with U.S. import tariffs. Despite gold prices reaching $3,500 per ounce last month, the PBOC has continued to build its gold reserves since November, viewing the precious metal as a safe asset during times of high uncertainty.

It is the highest commercial vault rating under UL Standard 608 — and a mandatory condition of NYMEX/COMEX licensure, not a marketing claim. Here is exactly what that standard requires, and what it means for the gold you store.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
