GOLD OVERTAKES EURO
The European Central Bank just dropped a bombshell report: Gold has officially surpassed the Euro as the world’s second most important reserve asset
📊 Key Stats:
✅ Gold’s share of global reserves hit 20% in 2024
✅ Euro’s share fell to just 16%
✅ Central banks doubled down, adding 1,000+ tonnes of gold in 2024 alone (2x the previous decade’s pace)
✅ Gold prices surged ~30% in nominal terms
💰Why This Matters:
📌 Geopolitical Hedging: Emerging economies—especially those distant from the West—are dumping fiat for gold at historic rates.
📌 Bretton Woods Flashback: Central banks now hold almost as much gold as they did in 1965—the peak of the gold-backed monetary system.
🔮 The Big Picture:
Gold is back as the ultimate hedge against economic & political uncertainty.
🌍 De-dollarization? This is another sign of a shifting global financial order.
