“One traditional narrative on why Chinese consumers buy gold is that it is used heavily for weddings, festivals and gifts. But there are also less-cultural factors, the OpenMarkets report notes.

Rising wealth and urbanization, along with scarce investment options in the countryside, also promote gold hoarding, predominantly by women, according to the research. Similarly, tight government control over real estate, low interest rates and poor stock markets turn gold into an attractive alternative.”
