Central Banks Hedge Against the Dollar, Turning to Gold in a Strategic Shift Central banks around the world are ramping up their gold reserves, a move aimed at reducing their reliance on the US dollar amidst growing concerns over America’s continuing fiscal deficits and the threat of inflation. This trend occurs even as the dollar remains stable and real yields rise, with gold prices reaching their highest levels in five decades against most major currencies. Notably, this surge in gold’s value is attributed primarily to the purchasing activities of central banks rather than to ETF investments or seasonal demand. Countries like China, Germany, and Turkey have significantly increased their gold holdings, reflecting a strategic shift towards protecting their reserve assets from the risks of dollar devaluation and instability within the global financial system. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Vance Supports Trump's Call for Presidential Influence Over Fed READ MORE Core Inflation Meets Expectations, Posing Questions for Fed's Next Move READ MORE Geopolitical Risks Cap Oil's Decline READ MORE JPMorgan Bullish on Gold and Silver, Palladium Rallies READ MORE What is the Best Gold and Silver to Buy?
