Central Banks Shift Reserves from USD to Gold Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Global central banks are accelerating Gold acquisitions while reducing US dollar holdings, responding to escalating Middle East conflicts and the greenback''s declining dominance. The World Gold Council reports 95% of surveyed institutions now prioritize bullion as a reserve asset, citing sanctions risks and dollar instability.
Gold''s resurgence reflects a broader flight to safety as the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies currency volatility. This strategic pivot marks a structural challenge to dollar hegemony, with bullion purchases reaching record levels among sovereign wealth managers.
