231103 金价飙升，双十一，各国央行狂“国金”
▍原文
Robust demand for gold investment, as seen in the first three quarters, is expected to continue as economic and geopolitical uncertainties may drive up investors' purchases of safe-haven assets, leading to a sales increase in gold coins and bars, said experts on Tuesday.
The precious metal's attractiveness to investors may be further spurred if central banks continue with their gold buying, they said.
