As of May 2024, gold makes up 4.9% of China's foreign exchange reserves. Central Banks have been buying gold at record rates around the world to achieve their Independence and Sovereignty.

The bond market plays an important role in the valuation of financial assets. The utilization of this financial tool will aid the countries who have moved through their Article 4 consultations with the IMF to achieve financial clarity and direction.

EU Basel 3 Announcement: The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) is a comprehensive suite of capital rules. They are developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) as part of Basel III. Their intentions are to apply these rules to banks' wholesale trading activities.

The EU plans to delay FRTB because moving first would put EU banks at a competitive disadvantage to US banks.

This is a coordinated effort globally. Where one goes, we all go. Europe has given themselves a back wall date of January 1st, 2025 to to fully implement Basel 3 requirements. It looks like they have moved into a place that other countries are going to have to catch up to going forward.
