Chinese Investors Liquidate Nearly 1 Million Ounces of Gold After Record $3,500 Peak Ahead of May Day, Bitcoin Gains Interest

Gold prices experienced a historic surge in mid-April, reaching a record high of $3,500 per ounce, largely driven by substantial inflows into Chinese gold ETFs and retail investor demand. However, this momentum has reversed as Chinese investors have aggressively liquidated their gold holdings, selling nearly 1 million ounces across the Shanghai Futures Exchange and Shanghai Gold Exchange.
