Russia Buys Over 800,000 Ounces Of Gold In July After Dumping US Treasuries

Via GoldCore.com,

Russia buys 839,000 ozs of gold in July as it diversifies reserves from USD

25-ton addition brings Russia’s Central Bank holdings to 1,969 tons; the world's 5th largest gold reserves

Central bank buying Russian gold on Moscow Exchange for now

Russia sees gold’s role as independent currency and safe haven as is a “100% guarantee from legal and political risks”

Russia now has total gold reserves worth just $76 billion; Dumped $90 billion of US Treasuries in April and May

Russia under Putin continues to add to its gold reserves and added another 839,000 ounces or 25 metric tonnes in June. Many analysts believe this buying will continue in the coming months given the very serious geopolitical tensions between Russia and the U.S.

Russia's total gold reserves now amount to 63.3 million ounces or around 1,969 metric tonnes, with a current value of just $76 billion (based on gold at $1,200/0z).

Russia’s total foreign exchange reserves are $458 billion and their gold allocation has risen to 17% of their total reserves - even at these depressed gold prices.

This ranks Russia in fifth place globally in terms of gold reserves behind the U.S., Germany, Italy, France, and China.

Russia is also ranked fifth now in terms of gold held as a percentage of total fx reserves. However, the share of gold in Russian foreign exchange reserves is much lower than in many other countries such as the U.S., Italy, and France.

The U.S. is believed to have over 8,400 metric tonnes of gold and no foreign exchange reserves. The U.S. gold reserves have not been audited since the 1950s.

In 2014, Russia bought more gold in than in any other year since the break-up of the Soviet Union. The country acquired over 173 metric tonnes according to World Gold Council figures. Russia has bought 130 tons of gold so far in 2018.
