Is China attempting to wrest control of Gold pricing from the paper-dominated west? Mike Maharrey-Money Metals Exchange-JUL 23,26

Several large Chinese banks have announced plans to halt retail paper gold trading. Could this be a coordinated push by China to exert more influence and break the Western grip on gold pricing? Last month, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) announced it would stop offering individual trading in precious metals linked to the Shanghai Gold Exchange effective July 24. ICBC ranks as the world’s largest bank by assets.Postal Savings Bank of China, Ping An Bank, and China Guangfa Bank have also announced plans to end paper gold trading.Paper trading involves “futures.” These are exchange-traded contracts between two parties who agree to buy/sell a set amount of gold at a predetermined price on a specific future date. At the end of the contract, the buyer can either roll the contract over into a new one or take delivery of the physical metal.Futures are used for hedging against price fluctuations and for speculating on market movements.Since most futures traders never take delivery of physical gold, there is far more paper than metal. If every investor holding a buy contract demanded delivery, there wouldn’t be enough gold to go around. This opens the door to price manipulation through the movement of paper contracts.True price discoveryThere is some speculation that the sudden exodus of Chinese banks from futures trading, coupled with the new Hong Kong-based gold clearing and settlement system, is a concerted effort by China to have a stronger hand in global gold pricing.This would represent a seismic shift in the gold market, moving the balance of pricing power away from the paper-dominated West to the physical metal-oriented East.London, New York, and Switzerland have served as the center of the gold trade for nearly two centuries. The spot price is driven by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) morning and evening gold fixes.Meanwhile, the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) is the world’s largest physical spot gold exchange. Its activity centers on the physical delivery of bullion, unlike the COMEX, which is primarily a hub for moving paper. However, despite its size, the SGE has far less influence on global pricing.The World Gold Council picked up on an interesting trend in its H1 gold market analysis."Interestingly, intraday analysis suggests that the bulk of gold’s movements have been linked to activity during Asian and U.S. trading hours. Many of the pullbacks occurred during U.S. hours and, conversely, gold’s rebounds generally occurred during Asian hours."During Asian trading hours, gold was up 12.9 percent through the first six months of the year. During North American trading hours, the yellow metal was down 15 percent. European sessions split the difference, with gold falling modestly by 1.3 percent.This isn’t just a recent trend. We find that the gold price in Asian markets has typically outperformed the Western gold price for decades.Analyst Ed Steer argues that this reflects Western price manipulation through the paper markets.“This simple difference in investment strategy is all the proof needed that the world's banks and large commercial traders are actively managing the price between the a.m. and p.m. gold fixes in London -- and have been doing so since the paper market in gold first opened on 02 January 1975.”It’s not a leap to think that the Chinese would prefer to set the gold price and strip power away from the paper traders in the West.Risk management-Officials say Chinese banks are exiting paper futures trading to manage risk and prevent “speculative excesses.”“Chinese banks are tightening retail precious metals trading as a risk-control response to heightened price volatility,” State Street Investment Management gold strategist Robin Tsui told the South China Morning Post.Joshua Rotbart operates a precious metals firm with offices in Hong Kong and Singapore. He agreed, telling the Investing News Network that we shouldn’t take the move as a sign that China is “cooling on gold.”“What is being switched off is the speculative paper layer. This move reflects a distinction between leveraged paper trading and physical ownership.”Paper trading increases volatility because it can be moved so easily. Rotbart said Chinese banks have become increasingly concerned about leveraged retail products given the recent price swings.“When gold prices move sharply, leveraged paper products expose both the investor and the institution to greater risk. Discontinuing these products reduces operational and reputational risk while supporting broader financial stability.”It also shifts the pricing emphasis away from speculative paper toward the physical market. This would arguably mean a price better reflecting the market fundamentals as opposed to speculative soothsaying.Rotbart hinted that a more Asian-centric gold pricing regime could orient the market more toward physical gold.“Over time, this development may encourage greater emphasis on physical ownership rather than short-term leveraged speculation. It channels demand toward the metal itself rather than reducing it.”VRIC Media CEO Jay Martin said he doesn’t buy the official explanation. “I think that July 24th is the day that China starts finding out what gold is actually worth.”He pointed out that the paper market creates the illusion that there is far more gold than there really is, making it easy for paper traders to depress prices. “If there are 10 paper claims for every real ounce of gold, the market sees 10 times more gold than actually exists.”By removing this dynamic from the market, Martin argues we will find out “the real price of gold.”And he thinks it’s much higher than the LBMA fix indicates.Von Greyerz's partner Matthew Piepenburg agrees.“I've written ad nauseam for years about the COMEX and the LBMA markets, and how they legalize price manipulation and fraud legally, and China isn't stupid. They've been watching this since 1973 ... They know that we use massive amounts of leverage to force the boot to the neck of gold and silver, so we don't have natural price discovery. Fast forward to 2026, China is saying for us to have more credibility, more trust, and more natural price discovery, we are now going to try and make the paper trade, which is an open secret that it's a lie; we're going to call the bluff on that. We're going to go focus more on physical supply and demand.”Piepenburg called it “another move in the direction toward true price discovery.”“What Shanghai and Hong Kong and China in the East are doing is anchoring the trade in something more valuable, actual supply and demand, less nonsense, less dishonesty, and that gives them more credibility.” It's impossible to know the true motives of Chinese players in the gold market. However, it doesn't really matter.Whether the Chinese government is intentionally trying to wrest control of pricing from the West or simply protecting its investors from volatility and market excess, the practical implications are the same. China is positioning itself to become a more influential player in gold pricing. The Chinese market is much more oriented toward physical bullion.Ergo, Asian pricing will likely more strongly reflect the value of physical metal as opposed to speculation about gold on paper.

Chinese Banks Halt Retail Paper Gold Trading: Risk Mitigation or Price Discovery? Written by Melissa Pistilli-Edited by Georgia Williams-Jul. 22, 2026 02:00PM PST

China's biggest banks are calling it quits on the retail paper gold trade. What are the implications for the country's gold market and global gold investors.Chinese banks are pulling the plug on retail paper gold trading, causing a stir in the gold sector.Major Chinese banks, including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China — the world’s largest by assets — have announced they will cease offering retail paper trading products linked to the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) after settlement on July 24, 2026. The Postal Savings Bank of China, Ping An Bank, China Guangfa Bank and China Construction Bank are taking similar actions.The banks have advised retail clients to close their positions, liquidate their holdings, sell or take physical delivery before the deadline. After that, access via mobile banking, online platforms and branches will be restricted.At first, the news sparked concerns that China was shutting down the SGE or would be completely banning gold ownership for its citizens. However, these rumors are unfounded.“Do not mistake this for China cooling on gold. What is being switched off is the speculative paper layer. This move reflects a distinction between leveraged paper trading and physical ownership,” Joshua Rotbart, founder of global precious metals bullion firm J. Rotbart & Co., told the Investing News Network (INN) in an email.In fact, physical gold purchases, gold accumulation plans (GAPs) and gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and the institutional side of the SGE are unaffected. The gold reserve strategy of the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) remains in play as well.Let’s examine the banks’ motives and what market analysts predict this means for the global gold market.Why this matters: A shift toward physical reality.China has long been one of the world’s largest physical gold buyers, whether it be strong consumer demand for gold bars and jewelry or the PBOC building up its gold reserves.Unlike the paper-heavy western exchanges, the SGE is known as the world's largest purely physical spot gold exchange. Its trading system is centered around the actual withdrawal and delivery of physical bullion.By curbing leveraged retail paper trading amid recent gold price volatility, Chinese financial authorities seem keen on risk management and reducing speculative excesses that could disrupt the financial system.Readers are well aware of the run-up to a record high price for gold above US$5,500 in January and the subsequent sharp pullback to the US$4,000 level.“Chinese banks have grown increasingly cautious about leveraged retail products following periods of heightened volatility and earlier losses borne by retail investors,” said Rotbart, whose precious metals company operates consulting and sales offices in four key cities including Hong Kong and Singapore, and facilitates secure physical bullion storage across 16 international locations.“When gold prices move sharply, leveraged paper products expose both the investor and the institution to greater risk. Discontinuing these products reduces operational and reputational risk while supporting broader financial stability.”He shared that his own company has experienced an uptick in the margin calls they’ve asked their clients to attend to. “The recent volatility in the price of gold enhanced some of the risks involved in margin trading and gold based finance,” he added.What does this closure of access to the paper markets mean for China’s gold market?“Investors should view this primarily as a regulatory and risk-management decision rather than a bearish signal for gold. It reinforces the importance of understanding the difference between leveraged financial products and physically allocated metal,” state Rotbart.“Over time, this development may encourage greater emphasis on physical ownership rather than short-term leveraged speculation. It channels demand toward the metal itself rather than reducing it.”This move could spur demand for the physical metal if those investors forced to close their paper positions opt for physical delivery or shift to other bullion-based investments like ETFs or GAPs.Beyond risk mitigation and toward a broader monetary shift-Some market analysts see the banks’ actions as part of China’s broader strategy to challenge western-dominated pricing in the gold market. They view this as aligning with de-dollarization and central bank gold buying trends.Nations are quickly accumulating bullion as trust in fiat systems erodes amid rising global debt. Over the past four years, the World Gold Council (WGC) estimates that central bank gold accumulation has averaged 1,000 metric tons annually. That figure is double the average annual purchases over the preceding decade.According to the WGC’s Central Bank Gold Reserves survey, released in June, 45 percent of the record 76 reserve manager respondents expect their institution’s gold reserves to increase over the next 12 months.Jay Martin, CEO of VRIC Media, who believes the true price of gold is being suppressed by western paper markets, argues that in a market where paper claims frequently outnumber physical ounces, the current actions of China’s banks could potentially strain available supply and lead to another run on gold prices.In a July 18 episode of the Jay Martin Show titled “July 24: The Day China Reveals Gold’s Real Price,” Martin draws historical parallels to underscore the importance of Chinese banks stopping the retail paper trade for gold. He referenced the 1968 London Gold Pool crisis, where excessive selling by central banks to defend a $35 per ounce peg led to a floor literally collapsing under piles of gold bars as demand soared.Speaking about China's banks halting the retail paper trade, Martin noted, “The official explanation is that this protects ordinary people from gold’s wild price swings. That explanation is convenient, but I don’t believe it. I think that July 24th is the day that China starts finding out what gold is actually worth.”He emphasized that paper gold allows multiple claims on the same ounce, inflating supply and depressing prices: “If there are 10 paper claims for every real ounce of gold, the market sees 10 times more gold than actually exists.”Removing the paper markets from the equation, says Martin, will allow China to discover the real price of gold.Matthew Piepenburg, partner at Von Greyerz, shared similar sentiments in a July INN interview.“I've written ad nauseam for years about the COMEX and the LBMA markets, and how they legalize price manipulation and fraud legally, and China isn't stupid," Piepenburg said."They've been watching this since 1973 ... They know that we use massive amounts of leverage to force the boot to the neck of gold and silver, so we don't have natural price discovery," he continued.“Fast forward to 2026, China is saying for us to have more credibility, more trust and more natural price discovery, we are now going to try and make the paper trade — which is an open secret that it's a lie — we're going to call the bluff on that. We're going to go focus more on physical supply and demand.”Piepenburg cautioned that this doesn't mean that the market will immediately see the gold price triple, but rather that this is another move in the direction toward true price discovery.“What Shanghai and Hong Kong and China in the East are doing is anchoring the trade in something more valuable, actual supply and demand, less nonsense, less dishonesty, and that gives them more credibility,” he added.Listen to the full interview for more from Piepenburg about underlying gold and silver price drivers.Implications for the global gold market and investors-China is not banning gold ownership; it is incentivizing its citizens to buy physical gold rather than participate in the paper markets. In doing so, could it be accelerating a global repricing of the physical metal? Rotbart takes a more subdued evaluation of the developments in China’s gold market.“I would not read too much into this. I would not expect this decision to affect the gold industry," he said."That said, if the policy gradually shifts investors from paper products toward physical ownership, it could provide a modest long-term support for physical demand. For long-term investors seeking wealth preservation and portfolio diversification, physical gold continues to serve a fundamentally different purpose from speculative trading instruments. If you hold physical gold, this validates the position you already own.”Don’t forget to follow us @INN_Resource for real-time updates!

Gold's D-Day Looms: Extreme volatility expected tomorrow-3.5 k views | Posted July 23, 2026 | By Jeweller Staff-The Chinese government has set July 24, 2026, as the day it will end retail paper gold trading on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.

Major Chinese banks, including ICBC, Postal Savings Bank, and Ping An Bank, will officially stop all retail leveraged gold trading tomorrow. The deadline requires existing retail clients to either close their positions, liquidate holdings, or take physical delivery of their assets by the end of the day.It is said that the initiative is to protect investors from extreme market volatility and to shift price discovery toward physical metal rather than paper contracts. China's move is likely to have flow-on effects into the jewellery industry, particularly manufacturing (bench) jewellers and designers. The suspension of these paper trading services follows a period of significant volatility, where gold prices dropped around 30 per cent from their January 2026 peak ($USD5,600/ounce) to below $USD4,000 earlier in 2026, prompting banks to raise margin requirements to as high as 140 per cent. By forcing retail positions toward physical delivery or contract liquidation, China intends to eliminate synthetic supply, reduce Western influence on price manipulation, and reinforce the Shanghai Gold Exchange as a central hub for real gold settlement and pricing.At the time of publication, the price was $4,137.87 - see chart below - and the live price is here. While this move eliminates retail access to margin trading, it is worth noting that physical gold purchases and non-leveraged investment products remain unaffected.Strategic monetary goals also underpin the move, with powerbrokers in Beijing supposedly aiming to dismantle unbacked ‘paper contracts’ that critics argue artificially suppress global gold prices.By forcing retail positions toward physical delivery or contract liquidation, China intends to eliminate synthetic supply, reduce Western influence on price manipulation, and reinforce the Shanghai Gold Exchange as a central hub for real gold settlement and pricing.Simultaneously, the CME Group will implement 24/7 trading hours for its 1-Ounce Gold Futures contract on CME Globex, effective July 24. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is the world's leading derivatives marketplace, enabling investors and institutions to trade futures and options. Analysts view this date as a potential turning point where market dynamics may shift from paper speculation toward physical delivery, potentially creating arbitrage opportunities as prices in Shanghai diverge from Western markets.So, what happens after 24 July? Traders expect significant volatility and downward pressure in the short term, primarily driven by two converging factors: the closure of leveraged retail trading in China and expectations of a hawkish US Federal Reserve.This means analysts maintain a bearish outlook for the remainder of 2026, citing a strong US dollar, rising Treasury yields, and the high probability of a September interest rate hike. These factors increase the opportunity cost of holding gold because gold does not earn interest.In the short term, some sources project gold will trade between $USD3,365 and $USD4,236, with some models predicting a decline to $USD3,822 by July 24.Looking further down the line, forecasts widely vary; however, most lean towards conservative expectations.JP Morgan recently updated its guidance, predicting gold will average $USD4,300 during the third quarter of 2026, pulling back on short-term expectations. Goldman Sachs forecasts that a temporary "nowcast" acceleration, driven by heavy central bank buying, will provide a firm price floor.It views current pressure from high interest rates as short-lived and sees gold stabilising in the $USD4,000–$USD4,500 range, while the World Gold Council backs a stable mid-year framework, modelling gold to remain relatively rangebound at $USD4,100 (±5 per cent) immediately following July's change.It should come as no surprise that the same institutions have a positive long-term (2030+) outlook. Despite near-term weakness, structural supports such as central bank buying and reserve diversification keep long-term targets high, with JPMorgan projecting gold could reach $8,000 by 2030.Ultimately, the expectations for the immediate aftermath of July 24 are characterised by liquidation-driven volatility, while the medium-term trend depends on whether the US Federal Reserve delivers a rate hike or signals a pause in tightening.
