Russia has started selling off its gold reserves for the first time
The Central Bank of Russia has officially begun selling physical gold to cover expenses for the war. This is a troubling signal for global markets:
⚠️ Trump is likely to see this as a sign of increasing global instability.
⚠️ Jerome Powell may be concerned about the impact of this move on the American economy and currency markets.
Such sales can:
• shake global gold prices,
• increase volatility in global markets,
• intensify capital flight from 'safe havens'.
In fact, Russia has started to deplete strategic reserves — and this is already creating waves throughout the global financial system.
