China Continues Reducing US Treasuries While Increasing Gold Reserves
China is gradually diversifying its foreign reserves, cutting exposure to US Treasuries while steadily increasing gold holdings as part of a long-term reserve strategy.
Key Facts:
• China’s US Treasury holdings fell to $682.6B, the lowest level since 2008
• Treasury exposure is down over $600B from the 2013 peak
• China’s gold reserves reached ~74.1 million ounces, an all-time high
• Gold accumulation has increased consistently over recent years, not abruptly
Expert Insight:
Analysts view this as measured reserve diversification, not a sudden exit from the US dollar. China still holds substantial dollar assets, but is reducing concentration risk.
Outlook:
If geopolitical and currency risks persist, China and other central banks may continue favoring gold as a strategic reserve asset alongside reduced US debt exposure.
