Summary
The Dutch central bank, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), quietly moved 86 tons of gold from New York and Ottawa to London between March and August due to increasing geopolitical unrest, aiming to improve the tradability of its gold reserves. This move, confirmed by DNB, follows similar actions by the Banque de France and raises questions about trust in the U.S. financial system amid rising U.S. national debt and Treasury interventions.
