The Bank of Korea has purchased gold-linked assets for the first time in 13 years to hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainties. According to a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as of the end of the second quarter, the Bank of Korea held 679,765 shares of SPDR Gold Shares, valued at roughly $250 million. The document shows the central bank held no shares of the world’s largest physically backed gold ETF three months earlier. The Bank of Korea stated that this investment marks its first purchase of gold-linked assets since 2013. The purchase will not boost the central bank’s official gold reserves, as gold ETFs are classified as securities and fall under foreign exchange reserves. Choi Kyuho, an economist at Hanwha Investment & Securities, said: “The Bank of Korea’s current gold allocation is quite low. From the perspective of aligning with global standards, there is still room for the central bank to further purchase gold. I believe they will gradually increase their gold holdings.”

Two men involved in the third break-in have recently been sentenced to 3 years and 18 months in prison respectively. (Protos)
