Dutch central bank relocates 86t gold to London citing geopolitical unrest

The Dutch central bank (DNB) moved 86 tonnes of gold from New York and Ottawa to London, citing rising geopolitical unrest and the need for faster deployability in a crisis. The move signals heightened official-sector concern over asset safety and liquidity, potentially reflecting broader central bank diversification away from US assets. It may add to safe-haven demand for gold and reinforce risk-off sentiment.
