ECB's Kazaks Hopeful That Step-by-Step Rate Cuts May Continue
The European Central Bank should be able to carry on with gradual interest-rate reductions, according to Governing Council member Martins Kazaks.
'At the moment financial markets are expecting that rates will be lowered a few more times,' the Latvian central bank chief told public broadcaster LTV on Tuesday. 'It will all be dependent on what happens with inflation, that is dependent on what happens with the labor market — at the moment it looks pretty hopeful that step-by-step cuts could also continue this year.'

Central banks just can't get enough of gold
Central banks have been stocking up on gold. They bought over 1,000 tonnes of the precious metal last year, double the average amount purchased in the previous decade, according to a European Central Bank report published on Wednesday. The authors wrote that global holdings of gold by reserve banks increased to 36,000 metric tons in 2024, close to the record of 38,000 metric tons reached around 60 years ago. Per the survey, two-thirds of central banks invested in gold to diversify their portfolios, and about 20% did so to provide protection against economic and geopolitical risks, like Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "Adjusted for inflation, real gold prices in 2024 surpassed their previous peak seen during the 1979 oil crisis," the report said. The stockpile of the yellow metal, matched with rising prices, made it the second-largest global reserve asset after the dollar in 2024. Gold prices were $3,342 per troy ounce as of roughly 11:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday. This is up close to a quarter year-on-year and over 90% in the past five years. A rise in demand was partially driven by increased buying activity by central banks, as well as fears of an economic slowdown and tariff uncertainty. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index has declined more than 8% since the start of the year. Now, central bank reserves are composed of, on average, the dollar, at 46%, gold, at 20%, other currencies at 18%, and the euro at 16%. Gold has hit a number of all-time highs this year. It broke a record by passing the $3,500 -per-ounce threshold in April as more investors sought safe-haven assets following President Donald Trump 's criticisms of Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell. Before this, the precious metal reached the $3,000 level for the first time in March. Get the latest Gold price here.

Gold is now the world's second-largest reserve asset — but central bank appetite is waning
Central banks' growing appetite for gold meant that the precious metal overtook the euro as the second-largest global reserve asset in 2024, according to a European Central Bank report out Wednesday — but analysts suggest some institutions may be nearing their fill. Central banks' gold stockpiles are close to levels last seen in the 1950s and 1960s. Combined with gold's soaring price, it is now second only to the U.S. dollar as their biggest reserve holding in value terms, the ECB said in its analysis Wednesday. Central banks amass liquid assets such as foreign currencies and gold as a hedge against inflation and to diversify their holdings. It also allows them to sell these reserves to support their own currency in times of stress. Gold in particular is seen providing long-term value and resilience through volatility, and central banks now account for more than 20% of its global demand, up from around one-tenth in the 2010s. The ECB said survey data found gold was increasingly attractive to emerging and developing countries concerned about sanctions and the potential erosion of the role of major currencies in the international monetary system. Gold prices have set a string of fresh record highs over the last few years, including in 2025. A stunning rally has turned to choppiness in recent months, as global markets have been rattled by fast-changing U.S. tariff policy. A turning point for the precious metal came around the time of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which combined with spiking inflation and expectations of rising interest rates, spurred a flight to so-called safe haven assets. Geopolitical and economic uncertainty has remained elevated consistently since then. China has been a leading driver of the gold rally, with India and Turkey among its other major buyers. Many of the tailwinds that have propelled gold still remain. "Investors should ensure portfolio diversification and hold sufficient exposure to gold and hedge funds," Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, advised clients in a note earlier this month. But there are signs that central bank purchases may cool in the months ahead. The institutions "have played a key role in the gold rally and will probably continue buying gold, albeit at a slower pace than in the past couple of years," Hamad Hussain, climate and commodities economist at Capital Economics, told CNBC. "Indeed, the perception of gold as hedge against global fiscal, inflationary, and geopolitical risks supports the case for central bank reserve managers to allocate a greater share of their portfolio to gold. Recent doubts over the dollar's safe-haven status could also boost the attractiveness of both gold and the euro as reserve assets over the coming years," Hussain added. The rate of central bank gold purchases fell 33% quarter-on-quarter in the first three months of the year, according to data from the World Gold Council analysed by bank ING, while Chinese purchases notably slowed. "Despite the slowdown, central banks are likely to continue to add gold to their reserves given the still-uncertain economic environment and the drive to diversify away from the U.S. dollar. In the past six months, volumes have climbed by about 30 tonnes," ING strategist Ewa Manthey said in a note last month. According to the ECB's own report, the impact of geopolitics and demand on gold prices going forward will "depend on the stickiness of gold supply." "It has been argued that gold supply has responded elastically to increases in demand in past decades, including through strong growth in above-ground stocks," it said. "Therefore, if history is any guide, further increases in the official demand for gold reserves may also support further growth in global gold supply."
