SVB and First Republic bank failures were all traced to liquidity crunch and having to sell off covid-era bond with low interest rate at a huge loss, since current bond series offers much higher interest rate. Central banks including Fed and BoE accumulated so much of these bonds in their balance sheet and couldn't unwind fully without inflicted massive loss to themselves. Recently, BoE have to sell of their old Gilt which they bough during the covid years at GBP101 face value... guess how much they sold it for? GBP28.... nice!
Central banks and treasuries all around the world are issuing debt notes and printing currencies, telling everybody they carry value, while behind our back they are buying gold.... almost too easy to read their poker face, right?
About your question - yeah, I bought a uranium stockist before, Yellowcake Plc.
Malaysia gold reserves is kinda low or is BNM behind the curve.
Current Reserves: 38.88 tonnes
As of: June 30, 2025
Estimated Value: Around $3.2 billion (as of March 2025)
Reserves have grown from 36.39 tonnes in 2013, still way behind.
Thailand and Singapore hold the largest gold reserves among SEA countries.
I remember during the Asian Financial Crisis, Thai government asked it's citizens to sell gold to boost central banks reserve.
