Brief

Reported by CNBC: “Swiss central bank posts bumper $23 billion profit thanks to gold, foreign assets”. Gold settled at $3,899 an ounce on October 30, 2026 — $125.35 per gram, -3.29% on the day. The headline carries a figure: $23 billion — quoted as published, not independently verified. The story touches Switzerland: we track local prices and customs flows for those.

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.
