Gold is the future
Central banks around the world keep stacking gold: So far this year, they’ve been buying at the fastest clip in over a decade. “On a year-to-date basis,” says a report from the World Gold Council, “central banks have reported net purchases of 125 [metric tons]. This is the strongest start to a year back to at least 2010.” | |
The year 2010 is a good starting point because that’s the year central banks became net buyers of gold. Top buyers lately include Russia — which just updated its figures for the first time in a year. The Russian central bank added 31 metric tons as it continues to diversify its foreign exchange reserves out of dollars — which it can’t access after Washington froze those dollar reserves. Meanwhile, China has added 102 metric tons over the last four months. |
