He added that some central banks are also purchasing gold from domestic small-scale producers to support local industries and prevent these reserves from flowing to “non-regular participants.” During last October’s gold sell-off, central banks seized the opportunity to boost holdings, but it’s still too early to tell if a similar

Hong Kong police announced on the social media platform "Protector" on March 24 that over the past few months, a 39-year-old local woman connected with a scammer on a mobile dating app—someone claiming to be an employee of a new energy company.
