# Hong Kong sees net gold exports to the Mainland of 56.193 tonnes in July
Hong Kong statistics show that in July, Hong Kong recorded net exports of 56.193 tonnes of gold to the Mainland, up further from 50.679 tonnes in the previous month. This reflects continued strong demand for physical gold in the Mainland, with physical buying providing a medium-to-long-term floor for gold prices. Gold and BTC are both hard assets, and there is a certain degree of positive correlation.
Key levels
‑ Spot gold: Resistance 2485‑2500; Support 2430‑2440
‑ BTC: Resistance 81000‑81800; Intraday support 78200‑78600; Pivot 74800‑75200
✅ Support rationale
1. Net inflows at high levels for multiple consecutive months. Mainland physical consumption and allocation demand remain firm, with physical gold continuing to flow from offshore into the domestic market, providing underlying support for gold prices.
2. Strengthening physical gold demand reinforces the global “hard-asset allocation” narrative, with sentiment spillover transmitting to BTC. This is positive for valuations of safe-haven hedging assets.
3. Coupled with the macro environment in which central banks across countries continue to buy gold, and US Treasury buybacks keep yields low, the high-level pattern for gold has been consolidated.
⚠️ Downside risks
1. Physical imports are a medium- to long-term variable and do not dominate short-term pricing. In the short run, gold prices mainly depend on the US dollar and US Treasury yields; one month’s import/export data is unlikely to drive a sharp rally.
2. There is a price spread between Mainland gold prices and international gold prices. Some imports may come from arbitrage flows and are not identical to incremental investment buying.
3. If the US dollar strengthens again and Treasury yields rebound, even with strong physical demand, gold and BTC will still face pullback pressure.
Outlook
Physical demand provides a floor for gold in the bigger picture; in the short run, gold prices continue to track fluctuations in the US dollar and US Treasury yields. For BTC, focus on the 78200‑78600 support zone—if it holds, BTC can continue probing the 81000‑81800 resistance area. A break below 74800‑75200 (the pivot) would signal the start of a medium-term pullback.
Key to watch: US Dollar Index, 10-year US Treasury yields, and BTC‑ETF fund flows.
