China Gold Purchases
The Kobeissi Letter's grouped bar chart drew 551K views on X: 2.4x its typical post and #12 of 131 The Kobeissi Letter charts we track by views. Read Oct 24, 2026.
BREAKING: China purchased +25 tonnes of gold in August via the London OTC market, according to Goldman Sachs estimates.
Why it spread
It spread because it landed on a hot topic that week and drew many quotes, reaching 141,003 views with 1,108 likes, 177 reposts, 43 quotes and 114 saves.
What worked
- The post leads with a breaking claim that estimated purchases beat the official figure, giving readers a clear tension to share.
- The chart is a grouped bar comparing estimated and official purchases, which makes the gap between the two series easy to see at a glance.
- It carries a source line and a branded look, and the account's source reach and quote rate both sit in the top quarter, which helped the post travel.
What to borrow
We can pair a timely claim with a grouped bar that puts our own estimate next to the official or baseline number, and keep a visible source line and brand mark.
Careful
Do not treat the estimate as confirmed fact or assume the spread came from the design alone, since the hot topic and the many quotes did much of the work.
