đš MAJOR SHIFT: RUSSIA IS LIQUIDATING GOLD RESERVES
This is not a small signal.
đ·đș Russia has reportedly offloaded around 70% of the gold held in its National Wealth Fund, cutting reserves from 500+ tons to roughly 170â180 tons.
Why now?
âą Financing the Ukraine war
âą Plugging widening budget deficits
âą Coping with long-term sanctions pressure
â ïž Why this is critical
Gold is the ultimate backstop for any nation.
When a country starts selling it aggressively, it usually means financial stress has reached a serious level.
As reserves shrink, risks around inflation, currency stability, and fiscal control increase sharply.
đ Bigger picture impact
âą Extra gold supply could weigh on prices
âą Signals stress inside sanction-hit economies
âą Confirms modern wars are fought with balance sheets, not just weapons
đ History shows this clearly:
Countries donât sell gold when theyâre strong â they sell it when options are running out.
Is this a long-term weakness for Russia⊠or the first step in a much bigger financial reset? đ
