The gold market is currently showing stability after China made a significant tax adjustment that could impact demand for the precious metal. The Chinese government’s decision to end a long-standing tax break for some retailers has surprised markets and could have far-reaching consequences for global gold trading. This tax change particularly concerns the possibility of fully deducting VAT on the sale of gold purchased on the Shanghai Gold Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
The immediate reaction to this announcement was a fall in gold prices of up to 1% in early trading before the price stabilized again and rose 0.2%. This volatility reflects the uncertainty caused by China’s political decision. Experts believe the move could dampen demand for gold in China, one of the largest markets for the precious metal, which in turn could have global implications.
Historically, China has played a central role in the global gold market, both as one of the largest consumers and a major producer. However, recent tax changes could change the dynamics in this market. Analysts are watching developments closely as falling demand in China could put pressure on global gold prices. At the same time, this could also open up opportunities for other markets that could benefit from stable or increasing demand.
China’s decision comes at a time when the global gold market is already facing various challenges, including geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties. These factors have often led to increased demand for gold as a safe haven in the past. However, current developments could impact the attractiveness of gold as an investment, particularly if other markets begin to fill the gap created by a possible decline in demand in China.
