Go for it.
I won’t ever hold gold.
Did I suggest you should? ...or that I have? I was pointing out that the US banks may be short of USD also - perhaps like 2008. Time will tell. Take a look at Greece recently.
The posted story is that Chinese banks are running out of money; my addendum is that - if a Russian bank bought tons of gold - perhaps they bought it from the Chinese to allow the Chinese to gain some cash. Perhaps Trump has put the Chinese between a rock and a hard place. I doubt the Russians bought a ton of gold from the US Treasury... perhaps Venezuela.
I have not found out where Russia obtained the gold. CNN for example, does not say. Russia may think the USD is at risk... or perhaps wishful thinking. As I say, above my pay grade.
