Gold has surpassed US Treasury bonds as the top global reserve asset, with its share in official reserves reaching 27% by the end of 2025, according to the European Central Bank. This shift, ending the long-standing dominance of dollar-denominated assets since the Bretton Woods system, is attributed to rising gold prices, continuous central bank purchases, diversification efforts, and concerns over the safety of US assets. Future gold price movements will be influenced by central bank buying, but also by the US dollar's trajectory, Treasury yields, inflation, geopolitical risks, and investment demand. AI
