China Moves to Ease Gold Trade Rules as De-Dollarization Push Accelerates

China is reportedly preparing to relax regulations on gold imports and exports, expanding the use of “multi-use permits” at more ports while extending their validity to nine months and removing usage limits.

The People’s Bank of China says the reforms aim to improve port efficiency and help the economy better absorb external shocks.The shift comes as Beijing accelerates efforts to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar by building up gold reserves. Macro strategist Luke Gromen noted that China’s long-term gold accumulation provides an “elegant” hedge against yuan depreciation, boosting household balance sheets as gold prices rise in local currency terms.
