Lol! 'Crying Nations' With ‘00 Gold’ in Central Banks!

Описание: Recent global financial news says that gold prices have risen very sharply, reaching record highs in 2025–2026. The rally has been driven by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and strong buying by many central banks. As prices surged to historically high levels, countries that already held large gold reserves saw the value of their assets increase significantly.

At the same time, some developed countries such as Canada and Norway traditionally hold very little gold in their central bank reserves, choosing instead to keep their reserves mainly in foreign currencies or government bonds. Because they do not possess large gold stocks, they did not benefit directly from the huge rise in gold prices.

During this extraordinary gold rally, nations with big gold reserves—such as the United States, Germany, China, and Russia—experienced a major increase in the value of their reserve assets. For example, rising gold prices significantly boosted the total value of reserves held by countries that had accumulated bullion over many years. This has strengthened their financial buffers.

By contrast, countries with minimal or no gold holdings missed out on these valuation gains. They did not suffer a direct financial “loss” in the sense of losing money they already had, but they experienced an opportunity loss—meaning they did not gain the extra reserve value that gold-holding countries received during the price surge.

This situation has renewed debate among economists and policymakers about how central banks should diversify their reserves. Many emerging-market countries have been increasing gold purchases specifically to protect themselves from currency risks, sanctions, or financial instability, while some advanced economies continue to rely more heavily on currency reserves instead of physical gold.
