Gold’s Glittering Triumph: Treasuries Tremble as Metal Reigns Supreme! 🌟

by

Ah, the fickle embrace of fortune! For the first time since the mid-1990s, foreign central banks have deemed gold more delectable than US treasuries. A shift, my dear reader, as profound as a peacock shedding its feathers-only to reveal a suit of armor. Safety, liquidity, and trust? How quaintly human of them. 🧐✨

Beyond the mere whims of the market, this silent pilgrimage from paper to metal is a spectacle worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy-or perhaps a Wildean comedy. The architecture of global finance, it seems, is being redecorated with a touch of gilt. 🏛️💰

Data, that dullard of truth, confirms the crossover. Barchart, ever the herald of such trivialities, proclaims that central banks are on a gold-buying spree, as if the metal were the latest fashion in Paris. And what a spree it is-19 tonnes in August, 10 in July. By year’s end, they shall have amassed 900 tonnes, a hoard that would make even King Midas blush. 👑🚀

Foreign Central Banks now own more Gold than U.S. Treasuries for the first time in almost 30 years 🚨🚨🚨

The World Gold Council, those arbiters of all things luminous, report that central banks have been on a 16-year bender, buying gold as if it were the elixir of eternal life. And why not? After two decades of selling, they’ve decided that discretion is indeed the better part of valor. Or perhaps they’ve simply grown weary of paper’s promises. 📜💔

Central banks are buying unprecedented amounts of gold:

Global central banks have bought an annualized +830 tonnes of gold in 2025.

In the first half of 2025 alone, 23 countries increased their gold reserves.

Central banks are now on track to buy twice as much as the annual…

“Central banks cannot stop buying gold,” Kobeissi quips, as if they were addicts at a jewelers’ convention. And why should they? When the Federal Reserve’s reverse-repo balances collapse, gold rises like a phoenix from the ashes of liquidity. “Capital seeks what can’t default,” Sunil Reddy intones, with all the gravitas of a soothsayer. Gold, it seems, is no longer just an inflation hedge-it’s the asset of last trust. A crown, if you will, in a world of jester’s caps. 👑🤡

“When those balances nearly vanished, gold went vertical…Capital seeks what can’t default – hard money. Gold is no longer just an inflation hedge; it’s becoming pristine collateral – the asset of last trust,” he said.

When Trust Falters, Hard Assets Rise – and Digital Gold Awaits Its Turn

Ah, trust-that fragile flower, wilting under the scorching sun of political gridlock and debt escalation. The US government, it appears, spends nearly 23 cents of every dollar on interest. How very… American. Meanwhile, foreign confidence in Treasuries wanes, like a forgotten love letter. 📉💔

Gold, that eternal constant, remains unchanged. It is the measuring stick, you see, that reveals the collapse of all else. Since the 1970s, major currencies have lost between 70% and 90% of their value when measured against gold. A sobering thought, is it not? 🥃💸

Yet, even gold’s dominance faces challengers. Bitcoin, that enfant terrible of the financial world, rose 3% while gold fell 5% last week. “If BTC absorbs even a fraction of gold’s market cap,” Lark Davis muses, “it could mark the beginning of an insane rally.” Digital gold, they whisper, is next. The future, it seems, is as uncertain as a Wildean plot twist. 🔮🚀

“If BTC absorbs even a fraction of gold’s market cap, it could mark the beginning of an insane rally…1% equals $134,000, 3% equals $188,000,” he said.

Gold has gone absolutely parabolic.

But it’s now showing clear signs of topping out here.

DIGITAL GOLD IS NEXT!

And what of gold’s recent pullback? A mere mechanical hiccup, insiders assure us. A large ETF block trade, tripping algorithmic volatility triggers like a clown at a ballet. “Nobody important sold,” an analyst quips, while Chinese gold ETFs added exposure during the selloff. How very… strategic. 🤹♂️💼

“Nobody important sold,” an analyst said. Chinese gold ETFs even added exposure during the selloff.

In this grand theater of global finance, central banks-those guardians of fiat-are embracing hard assets with the fervor of converts. “If the people who control the money printer are stacking gold,” Crypto Jargon remarks, “what should the rest of us be stacking?” A question as profound as it is rhetorical. 🖨️🤔

“If the people who control the money printer are stacking gold, what should the rest of us be stacking?” Crypto Jargon remarked.

And so, my dear reader, we stand at the precipice of a new decade, where the only certainty is uncertainty. Gold, Bitcoin, or perhaps something yet unseen-who can say? But one thing is clear: the world of money, like the world of Wildean wit, is ever in flux. And we, mere spectators, can only watch with bated breath and a glass of champagne in hand. 🥂✨
