Money Metals News Alert

December 15, 2025 The Fed's latest rate cut last Wednesday has fueled renewed strength across the entire precious metals complex.

Silver continues to show incredible upward momentum pulling back briefly on Friday only to hit $64 once again this morning. having obliterated its prior $54 high two weeks ago.

Technical analysts have pointed to the potential for $72 silver in the near to medium term as this price rerate continues.

Silver was held below $50 for decades and seems intent on catching up after its long-time underperformance against gold and other commodities.

Gold, meanwhile, could be making a run for its all-time high of $4,400 reached back in October.

At Money Metals, profit-taking by longtime holders of both metals continues, but first-timers are coming in to buy all that inventory and then some.

If the headlines in precious metals draw in the general public, the overwhelming majority of which don't have a single ounce of any precious metal, things could get interesting.

Remember that Money Metals is still giving away free silver for one more week on any silver order of $750+. Also, don't forget to check out our HOLIDAY GIFT SHOP [link removed] and our SPECIALS PAGE [link removed] which includes a below spot silver offer!

China Reaffirms Tight Grip on Gold Market, Ushering in a New Monetary Era

Share this Article: [link removed] [link removed] [link removed]

Without a doubt, the Chinese central bank (PBoC) is still the leading single entity that is driving up the gold price to record highs, year-to-date by more than 55 percent.

In the third quarter of 2025, the PBoC???s gold purchases (reported and unreported) accounted for 118 tonnes, up 39% MoM and 55% YoY, according to my long-time methodology1 (now copied by Goldman Sachs [link removed] , Bloomberg [link removed] , MarketWatch [link removed] , The Washington Post [link removed] , TIME magazine [link removed] , Financial Times [link removed] , Financiele Dagblad, [link removed] and El Pa??s [link removed] , to name a few).

Chart 1. Reported central bank gold buying versus estimates by the World Gold Council on central bank gold buying based on field research (reported and unreported buying). The majority of unreported buying must be ascribed to China.

My estimated total for Chinese monetary gold reserves stands at 5,411 tonnes in Q3, versus 2,304 tonnes reported by the central bank of China to the IMF.

Why is China buying so much gold?

It???s because China is the second-largest economy globally, and due to the weaponization of the dollar since the Ukraine war in 2022, the vast, covert buying spree by China and countries like Saudi Arabia [link removed] should not be viewed as a hedge against the dollar but as a replacement for the dollar.

The mBridge Gold Standard

For the better part of the past 80 years, the U.S. dollar has functioned as the world???s trade and reserve currency. This setup gave the United States the exorbitant privilege of being able to print money to pay for imports, even though America???s manufacturing base has been eroded as a consequence.

China aims to establish an alternative to the U.S. dollar while seeking to avoid the risks associated with issuing its own reserve currency.

On November 19, 2025 [link removed] , the chairman of the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates completed a landmark digital currency transaction during a meeting with the governor of the People???s Bank of China, formally inaugurating project mBridge [link removed] .

The platform allows participating countries with established digital currencies to conduct bilateral trade in their own currencies, bypassing the U.S. dollar.

For the ???mBridge gold standard??? to be fulfilled, any surplus of local currency accumulated through trade must be directly exchangeable in a liquid gold market. Furthermore, it requires a new international gold vaulting and clearinghouse network.

Chart 2. In a historical shift, Eastern countries that before 2022 were price sensitive are now driving gold higher.

China will be the largest, or one of the largest, trading partners of countries participating in mBridge, and so the renminbi will be a dominant trade currency in the arrangement. This is why the Chinese are developing the Shanghai International Gold Exchange (SGEI).
