The Dutch central bank relocated 86 tonnes of gold this year—valued at roughly $10 billion—from vaults at the New York Fed and the Bank of Canada to London. This transfer, completed between March and August 2026, follows France’s earlier move out of New York and highlights a growing distinction between gold that is nominally owned … Read more

For two months in a row, China’s central bank recorded its largest monthly gold purchase since October 2023 — then surpassed that amount the following month. The details out of Beijing matter more than the modest intraday moves in bullion prices on any given trading session. Gold is trading near $4,395 an ounce as of … Read more

Buying the wrong product with retirement funds can trigger an immediate taxable distribution and potentially penalties. This guide explains which gold is IRA-eligible, why these rules … Read more

September’s odds for a Fed rate hike jumped sharply this week — from about 35% to 57% — after a single high-profile speech.

Gold and silver both dipped within minutes of this morning’s US jobs report. That immediate move made headlines, but four hours later the more useful questions are different: why was the overall reaction smaller than one might expect, and why did mining stocks fall several times more steeply than the metal itself? Below are three … Read more
