🏦🥇 The freezing of Russian reserves in 2022 changed the central banking world forever.
Before the 🇷🇺 invasion of Ukraine, central banks had already returned as consistent gold buyers:
♨️ From 2010 to early 2022, quarterly purchases averaged 118 tonnes.
⚠️ But once sanctions weaponized FX reserves?
Average quarterly gold purchases surged to 255 tonnes, which is more than double the pre-invasion pace. 🆙
Perhaps, even more striking, every single quarter since the invasion has recorded net purchases ABOVE the pre-2022 average. Not one exception. 💯
📍 A clear line in the sand emerged as central banks increasingly realized that sovereign reserves held in foreign currencies are not necessarily politically neutral assets.
As a result:
⚙️ Gold has re-emerged as strategic monetary collateral
🛡️ Reserve diversification has accelerated
⚖️ Monetary sovereignty has become a priority again
This is not merely a cyclical increase in demand. Definitely, a structural re-monetization of gold is unfolding in real time. ♟️
