On October 12, the German emergency rescue department said on the 11th that a tanker caught fire on the coast of the Mecklenburg Bay in the Baltic Sea in northern Germany that day, and all seven crew members had been rescued. According to local media reports, witnesses said that they heard a loud noise at around 9:15 a.m. local time, and soon saw black smoke coming out of the tanker. The report said that the tanker was flying the German flag and carrying about 640 tons of oil, which was used to provide fuel for other ships at sea.

Although the overall global central bank gold demand has fallen from its high point in early 2024, it still maintains a positive growth trend. According to the World Gold Council, in August this year, only four central banks increased their gold reserves, namely the central banks of Poland, the Czech Republic, Turkey and India. So far in 2024, the Central Bank of Turkey has become the largest official net buyer of gold, with a total net increase of 52 tons of gold, accounting for about 35% of its total foreign exchange reserves; central banks in emerging economies accounted for 70% of the global central banks net purchases, of which the Central Bank of Turkey accounted for 25% of the global net gold purchases. Analysts at the World Gold Council said that although the performance of gold prices is not the primary strategic driver for global central banks to buy gold, its continued upward trend may affect the global central banks gold purchases. But it is worth noting that the amount of gold sold has not increased, which may indicate a potential wait-and-see attitude of global central banks rather than a change in trend.On October 12, the National Development and Reform Commission publicly solicited opinions on the "Interim Measures for the Registration and Administration of Public Data Resources (Draft for Public Comments)".
