World Gold Council: Central Banks Net Sold 30 Tons of Gold in March 2026, Led by Turkey

The World Gold Council has released central bank gold statistics for March 2026. According to the data, central banks recorded net sales of 30 tons of gold during the month. Turkey accounted for the largest share of sales, while the National Bank of Poland was the largest buyer in both the first quarter and the month of March. According to the council's report, this selling trend has created notable activity in the global gold market. The sales led by Turkey indicate shifts in central banks' portfolio management strategies. Meanwhile, the purchases by the National Bank of Poland reflect the country's commitment to increasing its gold reserves. Experts note that while these data may create short-term pressure on gold prices, central banks' long-term demand for gold continues. In particular, reserve diversification efforts by emerging economies are keeping interest in gold alive. This is not investment advice.

The news reports that central banks have sold gold, but the amount (30 tons) may have a limited impact on the global market. Technically, the RSI at 61.8 is in neutral territory, while the MACD remains just below the signal line, offering no clear short-term directional signal. The price is trading well above the 20- and 50-day moving averages, indicating that the uptrend continues but is approaching overbought levels. The abnormal 1025% price increase in the last 24 hours may be a data error, thus its reliability is low. In the short term, the negative impact of the news could be offset by the technical outlook, so direction uncertainty persists.

The news reports that central banks are selling gold, with Turkey leading these sales. This could create selling pressure on gold prices in the short term. Although the RSI is at 58.7, indicating a neutral zone in technical indicators, the MACD line is above the signal line, showing positive momentum. However, the latest closing price of $45.36, above the 20-day moving average of $44.12, suggests that any decline may be limited. A short-term pullback is expected due to the news, but stronger signals are needed for a downtrend to emerge.
