It&#8217;s a central-bank-led move unlike anything we&#8217;ve seen before. A gold rush, if you will,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gold prices rose to $4,250 on Thursday, up over 60% year-to-date, on track for their best-performing year since 1979. The precious metal is currently on its ninth-straight week of gain \u2013 the longest streak since August 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a CNBC appearance Wednesday, Treasury Secretary&nbsp;<strong>Scott Bessent&nbsp;<\/strong>was pressed on whether gold\u2019s move reflects any anti-dollar sentiment from other economies. While he dismissed speculations about a wave of de-dollarization, he acknowledged that there are more buyers than sellers in gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chart-gold-is-on-track-for-the-strongest-year-of-gains-since-1979\">Chart: Gold Is On Track For The Strongest Year Of Gains Since 1979<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-427-1024x556-1.png\" alt=\"Chart: Gold Is On Track For The Strongest Year Of Gains Since 1979\" class=\"wp-image-232859 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bank of America And Yardeni Raise Gold Forecasts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this week, Bank of America raised its 2026 price forecast for gold, citing a powerful mix of ETF inflows\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/news\/25\/10\/48176691\/gold-silver-forecasts-outlook-2025-2026-etf-demand-lease-rate-trump-tariffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">and central bank buying.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bank said ETF inflows surged 880% year over year in September, reaching $14 billion \u2014 an all-time monthly record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Central Banks Are Leading The Charge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s not in dispute is the aggressive pace of gold buying by central banks. According to the World Gold Council, global central banks have been net buyers for 17 consecutive months. In August alone, they added a net 19 metric tonnes, following a July pullback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Central banks remain keen to continue increasing their exposure,&#8221; said Krishan Gopaul, a strategist at the World Gold Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland has been the most active sovereign buyer in 2025, adding more than 60 tonnes to its reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of this demand stems from heightened geopolitical risk and concerns about reliance on the U.S. dollar in cross-border trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is The US Treasury Stockpiling Gold?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no confirmation that the U.S. government is accumulating gold, but the theory is gaining traction, especially in light of the stark difference between gold&#8217;s current market value and how it&#8217;s reported on the federal balance sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. holds 261.5 million troy ounces of gold \u2014 approximately 8,133 metric tons \u2014 the largest official stockpile in the world. Yet this hoard is still booked at just $42.22 per ounce, a valuation set in 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That pegs the entire U.S. reserve at $11 billion. At today&#8217;s prices near $4,250 per ounce, that same stockpile is worth roughly $1.1 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August, a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/econres\/notes\/feds-notes\/official-reserve-revaluations-the-international-experience-20250801.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paper<\/a>&nbsp;by Federal Reserve economist&nbsp;<strong>Colin Weiss<\/strong>&nbsp;explored the idea of using revaluation gains on gold to reduce U.S. public debt without raising taxes or issuing new Treasury bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the gold on the books were marked to market, the paper value would jump to over $1 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That wouldn&#8217;t fix the $35 trillion debt problem overnight, but it could provide a meaningful fiscal breathing room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Washington secretly buying gold? We don&#8217;t know. But the pace of buying, the price action, and the macro narrative around currency diversification all suggest that something unusual is happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t just about inflation or interest rates anymore. It&#8217;s about a global shift in power, trust, and monetary regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether the U.S. is preparing for that shift or simply riding the wave, gold is once again at the center of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/commodities\/25\/10\/48248158\/gold-prices-central-bank-buying-donal-trump-tariffs-5000-2026\">Trump&#8217;s Stealth Move May Be
