\ud83d\udcca The latest global figures tell a fascinating story.<\/strong> According to the Q3 2026 data published on 3 November:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc8d Jewellery:<\/strong> 313 tonnes, down 17% year-on-year. \ud83e\udd2f The surprise?<\/strong> Central banks bought more gold than consumers purchased as jewellery! Their acquisitions totalled 675 tonnes over the first nine months of\u00a02026.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udf0d But here\u2019s the\u00a0twist!<\/strong><\/p>\n Gold is now facing a tug-of-war between geopolitical uncertainty, reserve diversification and inflation fears on one side, and a stronger dollar, rising Treasury yields and expectations of Fed tightening on the\u00a0other.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcc9 On 12 November, gold slipped towards $3,960, its lowest level in over a week, demonstrating that strong structural demand doesn\u2019t guarantee rising\u00a0prices.<\/p>\n \u23f3 One critical detail:<\/strong> These quarterly figures cover July-September, not today\u2019s buying. Central-bank purchases also include estimates beyond officially reported transactions. Historical demand reveals the market\u2019s structure, not its immediate direction.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfaf The NordFX takeaway:<\/strong> Gold isn\u2019t just about the dollar anymore.
