The notion of revaluing America’s gold reserves is not new. It has been proposed, ridiculed, archived, and revived with regularity over the decades. Yet its persistence as a topic of serious debate tells us more about the state of modern finance than it does about gold itself.
Last week, the U.S. Federal Reserve published a paper on the mechanics and precedents for reserve asset revaluations. It focused on gold and foreign exchange holdings, reviewing examples from Italy, South Africa, and others. The document did not recommend policy, nor did it offer forecasts. It simply explained how such a revaluation might work.
That, in itself, is notable.
In our latest GoldCoreTV episode, Jan Skoyles examines what this quiet shift in tone reveals. We explore:
-
Why the price of U.S. gold remains fixed at $42.22 per ounce
-
How revaluation could generate hundreds of billions in accounting gains
-
Why would such a policy be politically fraught and economically ambiguous
-
And what the renewed interest says about the credibility of the current system
Gold revaluation is unlikely in the near term. However, the fact that it has moved from fringe speculation to official modelling is a development worth noting. When an idea passes from taboo to toolkit, it reflects a broader reappraisal of the assumptions underpinning modern fiscal management.
