The recently reported February statement of account of the Bank for International Settlements discloses that the bank's use of gold swaps increased to about 552 tonnes, which appears to be a record high, slightly ahead of the estimate of 545 tonnes reported at the end of December.
This record high in BIS gold swaps came in a month that saw a 6% decline in the gold price, which fell from $1,844.13
As shown by Table B below, the BIS trades significant amounts of gold swaps on a regular basis.
