Gold

<div class="watcher-guru"> 
 <p>The BRICS members are accumulating massive amounts of gold in their reserves to challenge the U.S. dollar. The Central Banks from Russia, India, and China are on a gold buying spree in FY 22-23 and FY 23-24. The three countries are among the top buyers of gold this year and they are steadily purchasing the precious metal. Among the BRICS members, China is leading in gold accumulation and is the top buyer of the metal in June 2023.</p>

 <p>China is purchasing tonnes of gold ahead of the BRICS summit and speculations are rife that the alliance could back their yet-to-be-decided currency with the precious metal. However, the development could be confirmed only after the BRICS summit takes place in Johannesburg on August 22 to 24.</p>
