Gold Beats Euro as Banks Embrace Metal Over Fiat
There have been many instances where the system of fiat currency has been called out for its stark volatility. Reports of how unreliable the Fiat has become have gone viral on major social media platforms, as they are susceptible to external changes and pressure. As Trump’s tariff continues to pose volatility around the world, the global banks have been fighting this change by hoarding large quantities of gold to solidify their economy’s future.
A recent report by Global Markets Investor confirms how banks have lately been bulking up on gold obsessively. Gold’s share in international reserves has risen significantly, up 24% in Q1 2025. This sharp rise has been dubbed as one of the most promising gold feats, as the metal has hit its highest point in the last 30 years.
