China no longer settles for gold alone, but is building the infrastructure of a new monetary order. After 22 consecutive months of acquiring the yellow metal, Beijing would be consolidating the bridges between gold and yuan, while its exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds is declining. We are therefore witnessing the beginnings of a "Yuan-gold" standard likely to reduce dependence on the dollar.
Bitcoin heads into the Fed decision under pressure, with markets pricing in a rate hike and traders bracing for Warsh’s signals.

Bitcoin and gold have rarely moved so often in the same direction. Their 90-day correlation reached its highest level since 2020, according to Bitwise. This convergence comes as investors turn away from long-term U.S. bonds, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield up to around 4.8%.
Since August 7, the price of gold touched its lowest level before rebounding around 4331 dollars per ounce. The conflict between the United States and Iran could not support the safe haven. It caused oil prices to rise, consolidated inflation fears, and increased the likelihood of a US rate hike. The evolution of the dollar and bond yields thus weighs more on the precious metal than the search for security.
BRICS+ bloc nations would hold more than 6000 tons of gold, or 17.4% of official global reserves, according to an assessment by EBC Financial Group. China and Russia might concentrate about three-quarters of this stock. In a separate analysis, UBS projects the ounce to reach 5200 dollars by June 2027. These figures explain the growing interest in the yellow metal, however, they do not allow for a direct relationship to be established between BRICS+ acquisitions and the projection from the Swiss financial institution.
While the Nasdaq drifts and gold quietly plays its classic safe-haven role, bitcoin has crashed the party, started shadowing the yellow metal, and left everyone waiting on Kevin Warsh’s next sentence.
XAUUSD is one of the most watched symbols in trading rooms as well as consumer trading applications. Behind these six letters is simply the price of an ounce of gold expressed in dollars. But between the XAUUSD from forex brokers, the XAUUSDT from crypto platforms, and classic futures contracts, the same metal is traded in very different forms, with rules, costs, and risks that do not resemble each other. This guide puts things in order.
Gold had its best year since 1979 in 2025, with dozens of successive records. Early 2026, it surpassed 5,500 dollars per ounce before falling sharply in spring. This wide fluctuation sums up the question investors ask themselves: should you still buy gold now, and especially how? Between physical bullion, ETFs, mining stocks, and tokenized gold, entry points have never been so numerous or so unequal.
Rarity could soon no longer be the exclusive domain of bitcoin. According to projections published by Grayscale, the annual growth of Ethereum and Solana supply could fall below gold's 1.8% by 2031. Indeed, several reforms are currently being debated, including EIP-8361 on Ethereum and SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553 on Solana. If adopted, ETH's annual inflation could drop to 0.4%, compared to 1.1% for SOL. This development is likely to reshuffle the cards between rarity, staking yield, and valuation of these two cryptos.
Gold has just crossed a threshold that draws all attention. Above 4,400 dollars an ounce, the precious metal benefits from a particularly favorable cocktail: weakness in the US employment market, anticipation of a more flexible monetary policy, and continued purchases from China. Added to these factors are geopolitical tensions and the rise in oil prices, which revive inflation fears. Faced with economic and monetary uncertainties, investors and central banks are strengthening their exposure to gold.
Central banks purchased 288.9 tonnes of gold in the second quarter of 2026. This is 62% more than in the same period in 2025, when net purchases capped at 177.9 tonnes. Poland and China lead this movement, and the World Gold Council sees no sign of slowing down.

Markets did not wait long to react. Faced with weaker US economic indicators, investors immediately strengthened their positions on gold, reigniting the rise of the precious metal.

From precious metals to cryptos, this new reading of the American economic landscape could redefine investors’ strategies in the weeks ahead.
