When "people with gold will write new rules" in an era when paper currencies are starting to waver! 📌More than 600 tons of gold flowed into the United States quietly as central banks around the world continued to buy gold for the third year. China played a big card, allowing companies to exchange dollars for gold bars directly. 📌Analysts say, is this a warning sign of a global financial system reset?
👉A suspicious phenomenon is occurring in the global gold market. It was found that in the first two months of 2025, the United States quietly imported more than 600 tons of gold from London and Switzerland, according to the World Gold Council. This is a huge amount that cannot be ignored, even though economists from many major banks have dismissed this as a statistical anomaly.
Moreover, central banks around the world bought 1,062 tons of gold last year, the third consecutive year that they have been buying continuously. Countries have not moved in such an aggressive way in the gold market since the 1950s. In particular, Russia and China, the two biggest geopolitical problems of the United States, have spent the past two decades accumulating gold at an unprecedented rate.
A major turning point occurred last week when China announced that it would allow local companies holding foreign currencies (such as US dollars) to buy gold directly, which was a big card. China, which held $784 billion in U.S. Treasuries as of February, would equal about 8 percent of the U.S. official gold reserves stored in Fort Knox if exchanged for just 10 percent of those dollars.
Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, a vast amount of gold has flowed into the United States, much of it diverted from London and Switzerland, the world’s main bullion hubs. About 19 million ounces (nearly 600 tons) of gold entered the United States in a single quarter from those two European goldfields. To put that into perspective, that’s 13 percent of the gold believed to be stored in Fort Knox.
Normally, gold is traded on paper contracts, but now the actual bullion is crossing the ocean and landing in U.S. vaults, which is not a normal market move. Trump even suggested inspecting the gold in Fort Knox, despite officials insisting nothing was wrong.
Analysts say gold is important because when a financial system based on paper currencies starts to falter, it’s the last thing standing. When a government is drowning in debt it can’t pay, what happens is a financial reset. Ray Dalio, founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, calls this the end of the debt cycle.
For investors, the message is simple and clear: Gold is important again, not because of its beauty, but because many smart and influential people feel the ground is shifting. As central banks swoop in to buy gold as if bracing for a major volatility, retail investors should consider reviewing their portfolios. As Warren Buffett suggests: Keep your ammo dry. When the market finally capitulates, gold may rule, but cash will still be the kingmaker. #imctnews reports
