Netherlands repatriates 86 tonnes of gold from US, Canada to London

The Netherlands transferred approximately 86 tonnes of its gold reserves from storage in the US and Canada to London between March and August, according to the Dutch central bank. The move reduces Dutch gold holdings in North America and consolidates reserves closer to home, likely reflecting a strategic shift in reserve management. The motivation is not fully disclosed, but it may signal reduced reliance on US/Canadian custody amid geopolitical tensions.
