## Prediction

Within 24 hours, spot gold is likely to see incremental safe‑haven inflows as investors digest survey data showing 82% of central banks now hold bullion. The confirmation of a broad, multi‑year shift toward gold as a core reserve asset will strengthen the narrative of slow de‑dollarization and hedging against sanctions and fiscal risk. This will particularly matter for the longer‑dated U.S. Treasury complex and the dollar’s valuation against other reserve currencies. Confirmation would be a visible uptick in gold ETF inflows and bullish commentary from macro funds; denial would be a flat or declining gold price despite the survey.

## Drivers

- OMFIF survey showing central bank gold holdings rising from 71% to 82%
- Persistent concerns about sanctions, fiscal deficits, and currency volatility
- Existing uptrend in official sector gold purchases
