Dutch central bank shifts part of its gold holdings out of the U.S., with 18.5% still in New York and Ottawa
AI Market Summary
De Nederlandsche Bank is shifting part of its gold reserves from the U.S. toward Europe to improve liquidity, echoing a similar Banque de France move. While the direct effect on gold pricing is likely limited because the asset remains gold and London trading is USD-based, the headline is a negative signal on perceived U.S. custodial and policy risk, reinforcing broader concerns about trust and risk premia.

De Nederlandsche Bank has reallocated part of its gold reserves from the U.S. to Europe to improve liquidity. Of the 612 tons it holds in total, 18.5% remains stored in New York and Ottawa. The move follows a similar step by the Banque de France, which in March 2025 said it sold 129 tons of gold held in New York and bought gold in Europe, without citing geopolitical factors.
