China's gold imports hit record 1,000 tons

China's gold imports have reached a record 1,000 tons so far this year, already exceeding the country's total imports for all of 2025, according to Bloomberg.
The surge highlights exceptionally strong Chinese demand for physical gold and adds another source of support for the precious metal market.
Sustained import demand at this scale could remain constructive for $GOLD, although future flows will depend on domestic demand, prices and broader macro conditions.
