Next week, the BRICS nations convene once again. On the agenda? Trade, energy, and settlements. But underneath the formal language, a bigger conversation is taking place.
There are increasing rumours that the BRICS bloc is preparing to roll out a new settlement system. One that bypasses the US dollar. One that could potentially be anchored to something real: gold.
Now, we’ve heard these whispers before. But this time, the groundwork is visible.
-
Central banks are buying gold at a record pace
-
Gold has overtaken the euro as the world’s second-largest reserve asset
-
Germany and Italy are under pressure to bring billions of euros of bullion back from New York
-
And central banks are no longer storing all their gold abroad. They’re bringing it home
Why?
Because in a world of sanctions, frozen reserves, and political volatility, trust in the system is no longer a given.
Gold doesn’t default. It doesn’t require a custodian. It doesn’t respond to policy shifts.
In our latest GoldCoreTV episode, Jan Skoyles explores what’s really driving these moves: from the halls of the ECB to the upcoming BRICS summit. This is more than a rally. It’s a realignment.
If you’ve been wondering whether gold still matters in a digital, dollar-dominated world, this is the episode to watch.
