On the 10th, the South Korean National Assembly held a plenary meeting and adopted a cut version of the 2025 budget with a total amount of 673.3 trillion won (about 3.41 trillion yuan). According to Yonhap News Agency, this is the first time that the South Korean National Assembly passed the budget without agreement between the ruling party and the opposition party. In the 300-seat parliament, 278 members voted on the budget, 183 were in favor, 94 were against and 1 abstained. The ruling National Power Party and some opposition party members voted against it. This budget is one of the focal points of the recent struggle between the ruling and opposition parties in South Korea and one of the factors inducing the current political chaos. The original budget proposed by the government was 677.4 trillion won, but the largest opposition party, the Common Democratic Party, demanded a reduction of 4.1 trillion won, mainly involving the government reserve fund, the special activity expenses of the presidential secretary's office and the national security office, the special work expenses and special activity expenses of the procuratorate and the supervision institute.

The central bank will buy more than 4 tons of gold after half a year. Will the price of gold rise? According to the latest data from the Bank of China, the official gold reserve of China at the end of November 2024 was 72.96 million ounces, an increase of 160,000 ounces (about 4.54 tons) compared with the end of October, which means that the People's Bank of China increased its holdings of gold for the first time in half a year. Why did the central bank buy gold again after half a year? What is the trend of the subsequent gold price? Guo Zhongwei, chief analyst of non-ferrous industry in Zhongtai Securities, said in an interview that the uncertainty of the global situation has increased recently, especially Trump is about to officially take office as president of the United States, or the anti-globalization trend has been intensified, thus increasing the instability of the external environment. In this context, increasing gold holdings will help to enhance the security of China's reserve assets. . The market generally believes that the resumption of gold purchase by the Bank of China resonates with the global interest rate cut cycle, and the increase in holdings is significantly higher than the level of the last gold purchase before the suspension, which not only strongly supports the gold price, but also greatly boosts the market's confidence in the market outlook.
