Sources say the Hong Kong government will launch a long‑planned gold clearing and settlement system next week and plans to process the first gold settlement via the new system on Tuesday. Market participants report large physical flows out of London, the US and Europe, with large-format bars being air‑freighted to Asia ahead of the start. The move could trigger near‑term volatility in the London gold market as participants rebalance. If the system draws significant international and local bank participation, Hong Kong could shift from a price taker to a price setter in global gold pricing.
