GOLD OVERTAKES EURO

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.
