Netherlands repatriates 90 tons of gold from New York Fed, citing geopolitical unrest

The Dutch central bank has moved approximately 90 tons of gold out of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, becoming the second European nation this year to reduce or eliminate U.S. gold holdings. The move, attributed to 'geopolitical unrest,' signals growing distrust in U.S. financial infrastructure and may reflect broader central bank diversification away from dollar-denominated assets. The exact timing and destination of the gold remain undisclosed, and it is unclear whether other European nations will follow suit.
