Brief

The development in focus is “Russian central bank sells 44 tons of gold in first half of 2026”. World Gold treats it as a central banks signal and separates the confirmed headline from possible market interpretation.

Why it matters

Official-sector buying or selling changes physical demand and long-term market expectations. Persistent purchases can support the market, but do not guarantee an immediate price increase.
