Shanghai Gold Exchange
The Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) withdrawals of 170.9 tonnes of gold during the month of September 2016 were down 34.3% from withdrawals of 259.98 tonnes in September 2015 and down 15.6% from September 2014 withdrawals of 202.43 tonnes.

Withdrawals on the Shanghai Gold Exchange are often considered a good proxy for the level of physical gold demand in China.
Rising gold prices have dented not only Chinese physical gold demand, but also Indian, U.S. and western physical gold retail demand.
The Peoples Bank of China has slowed its gold purchases recently. In September the PBOC added just five tons of gold to its reserves.
