I would think that HB would be (as I am) leery of relying on limited data in order to reach such a grandiose conclusion. How much gold in terms of troy ounces did the USA export in 2024 and 2025? Who were the buyers? How much did it produce? How much did it import? Don’t hold me to it, but my more or less educated guess is that once all these factors are mixed in, the net export figure is not as significant as your AI tool suggests. Is there any evidence that the gold owned by the USG was exported? Quick answer: no. America’s 8133 tons dwarf any other country’s gold reserves and they are going nowhere. Giving China the benefit of the doubt by assuming that it owns 3000 tons, China would have to spend $725 billion in current prices, more or less, to catch up. If, as predicted, the price goes up, so does the cost of buying. And if the price of gold goes up more than the USD goes down, then the cost of catching up goes up. And because China cannot (or refuses) to revalue the yuan to the upside, it seems quite possible if not likely that additional gold purchases by the Chinese are going to be more expensive. In other words, the USA’s position as the no. 1 holder of gold seems secure as China simply cannot keep buying gold at any price. Doing so kicks the price up, to the benefit of our massive 8133 tons hoard. On behalf of all American owners of gold, we thank you for your generosity.
