Trust in London and New York is evaporating:

Global central banks are removing gold from vaults in London and New York as they become increasingly concerned about storing bullion outside their own borders

India and France are among those that have relocated huge volumes of gold out of the US and UK in the past year to store domestically.

Not only are fewer central banks currently storing Gold in London and in New York year-on-year but increasingly nations are switching to domestic storage or via diversified overseas storage locations.

This is also going to seriously impact the paper price of Gold in the West as the collateral they use, via overseas Gold stored in London and New York, will no longer be possible.

Russia increased supplies of mineral resources and crude oil to ASEAN countries by 40% in the Q1 of 2026 and intends to conclude long-term contracts with these states as well as the joint development of storage and distribution infrastructure. This will ensure energy security and competitive prices for ASEAN nations on a long term basis.

In addition to energy resources, Russia has been expanding supplies of agricultural products: exports of meat products have increased 50-fold over the past decade and fertiliser exports have more than tripled.
