Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Bank of Korea (BOK) has purchased gold-related assets for the first time in 13 years to hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainties. According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the BOK held 679,765 shares of SPDR Gold Shares, worth approximately $250 million, at the end of the second quarter. The filing shows that three months ago, the bank did not hold any shares in the world's largest physical gold-backed ETF. The BOK stated that this investment marks its first purchase of gold-linked assets since 2013. This purchase will not increase the bank's official gold reserves, as gold ETFs are classified as securities and are part of foreign exchange reserves. Choi Kyuho, an economist at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said, "The BOK's current gold allocation is quite low. From a global standards perspective, the BOK still has room to further purchase gold. I believe they will gradually increase their gold holdings." (Jinshi)
