How DARE these countries think that their gold isn’t the gold of the EU and US kleptocrats!

Geopolitical concerns, combined with opportunities in emerging markets, are also encouraging some central banks to diversify away from the dollar.


Hmmmm....something/someone seems to be missing from this statement. 🤔

Didn’t the U.S. confiscate some of the Russian gold? I haven’t heard what happened after that. I suppose we could have said it belongs to Russia but we will return it to Putin’s successor and the end of the war in Ukraine.

Global economy heading for a major change. Bretton Woods 2.0.

Impounding Russian gold and money as western weapon was a profoundly short sighted tactic. It convinced other nations that if they do not follow our rules, we will grab their cash.

Having the reserve currency means you can’t use it for a weapon. If you do, you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Ever since learning about FDR’s forced confiscation(purchase) of all gold belonging to citizens of the USA for much less than it was worth, I choose not to own gold as an investment, because Democrats get elected too often.
