Hong Kong Gold Imports Reach Highest Level in 10 Years Pre-Clearing Launch

Hong Kong’s gold imports exceeded 130 tonnes in June, reaching their highest level since late 2014 as banks prepared for the city’s new bullion clearing system. Net imports hit their strongest level since December 2023, while mainland Chinese demand, lower prices, a firmer yuan and bank restocking supported flows overall.
