Several countries have already started reducing or reallocating part of their reserves and assets held in the United States. The Netherlands recently shifted a significant portion of its gold reserves away from New York and Ottawa to London. France sold 129 tonnes of gold held in New York and replaced it with gold stored in Europe, while China has reduced its U.S. Treasury holdings to their lowest level since 2008. Germany had already repatriated a significant portion of its gold from New York and Paris in previous years, and other central banks around the world have also been reassessing where their reserves are held. In my view, this is a very negative signal for the United States. If this trend continues and gains momentum, it could gradually reduce global demand for U.S. assets and increase pressure on the U.S. economy.
