AI summary
Gold recent rally is mostly due to five big buyers: four central banks and Tether, a company that deals in cryptocurrency. Tether is buying for the very reasons that central banks are—to diversify its holdings and hedge against inflation and significant dollar weakness, which Tether’s crypto stablecoin USDT is pegged to. In the first half, Tether bought more than 27 metric tons of gold—matching Kazakhstan.
