🚨 SHOCKING MACRO UPDATE: Russia Has Sold Most of Its Gold Reserves 🚨
Russia has liquidated around 71% of the gold held in its National Wealth Fund, using the proceeds to cover mounting costs from the war in Ukraine amid sanctions, budget deficits, and elevated military spending.
Over the past few years, gold holdings in the fund have collapsed from over 500 tons to just ~170–180 tons, highlighting the growing financial strain on the Kremlin.
This matters because gold has long served as Russia’s last-resort financial buffer. As reserves shrink:
• Economic resilience weakens
• Exposure to inflation and currency stress rises
• Fiscal flexibility narrows significantly
Global investors are watching closely. Selling gold at this scale doesn’t just impact Russia — it influences global gold supply, market sentiment, and precious metals pricing, turning the conflict into a broader financial and macro story 🌍💥
The real risk isn’t just what’s been sold —
it’s what happens once the reserves run too low to stabilize the system.
