RUSSIA JUST PULLED OFF A HISTORIC GOLD TRADE



After accumulating Gold between $1,050 and $1,600/oz from 2014-19, Russia is now selling reserves into record-high prices near $4,800/oz.

The Bank of Russia cut holdings by 900,000 ounces in the first 4months of 2026, generating an estimated $4.3 BILLION as Moscow increasingly taps gold reserves to offset budget pressures from falling energy revenues.

So, behind the new gold high, is Russia selling off? This narrative is quite interesting.

The budget pressure is so intense that even the last-resort gold reserves are being moved. Are there more supplies coming later?

From 1050 to 4800—more than four times the returns; the operations of a sovereign fund are just different.

Are the golden players ecstatic? But would such a large-scale sell-off cause a market crash?
