As France Yanks Last US-Based Gold Reserves, UBS Expects Demand From China To Persist
When France repatriates its gold, it has historically been worth paying attention to (think De Gaulle's demands culminating in the 'Nixon Shock').
However, then (as now), there was no cliff-like event, it was a slow-building crisis and perhaps the news that Gold has officially emptied its US-stored gold reserves (held in New York) is another straw on the back of the fiat standard to keep an eye on.
RFI reports that The Banque de France (BdF) announced last week that it generated a capital gain of €12.8 billion after upgrading 129 tonnes of gold – about 5% of France's total reserves – between July 2025 and January 2026.
The gold was the last of the French reserves held in New York. It was replaced with the equivalent amount bought in Europe and held in Paris.
The BdF has been gradually replacing older, non‑standard gold with bars that meet modern international standards since 2005.

|
|
|
Chinas wirtschaftlicher Aufschwung manifestiert sich in seiner beeindruckenden Infrastruktur, im enormen urbanen Wachstum und in seinen technologischen Kapazitäten. Seit dem vergangenen Jahr ist auch statistisch nachweisbar, dass das Land inzwischen zum Kapitalexporteur geworden ist und selbst die jahrzehntelang überlegene deutsche Industrie in ihren Kernsektoren technologisch überholt hat. Doch über allem Glanz schwebt das Damoklesschwert einer

More foreign marques face a do-or-die moment as Chinese buyers shun petrol cars (SCMP)
|
|
|
A number of underperforming international car brands are likely to either exit the mainland Chinese market or scale down operations, as losses mount due to falling sales and shrinking market share.
Carmakers delivering fewer than 1,000 units a month already faced a do-or-die situation in the world's largest automotive market because the weak sales were not enough to cover their manufacturing and operating costs, according to analysts.
Some carmakers are likely to follow Skoda, Volkswagen's......
