Poland’s central bank wants to buy at least 100 tons of gold in the coming years to demonstrate the country’s economic strength, Governor Adam Glapinski said.

So far, only the ECB has intervened in the markets, but other central banks could follow suit. This week, the Fed will announce its decision on the monetary policy.
