đ¨#BREAKING : RUSSIA IS DUMPING GOLD â THIS IS A RED
FLAG đĄđˇđş
This isnât routine rebalancing.
Itâs pressure.
Russia has reportedly liquidated 70%+ of the gold held in its National Wealth Fund â shrinking reserves from 500+ tons to roughly 170â180 tons.
This wasnât done for efficiency.
It was done out of necessity.
đ§ WHY THIS MATTERS
Gold is the final line of defense for sanctioned states. When a country starts selling it: ⢠Fiscal stress is acute
⢠Sanctions are biting deeper
⢠Budget holes are widening
⢠Long-term currency risk rises
Once gold buffers erode, policymakers lose one of the few tools left to stabilize inflation and confidence.
đ GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS ⢠Extra gold supply entering markets
⢠Higher volatility in precious metals
⢠Clear confirmation the war is financial, not just military
This isnât a show of strength.
Itâs balance-sheet attrition under pressure.
đ History is blunt:
Nations donât sell gold proactively. They sell it when options are running out.
So the real question is đ
Does this materially weaken Russia long term â
or does it mark the opening move in a deeper phase of financial escalation?
