Gold

Bulk

<div class="watcher-guru"> 
 <p>The BRICS alliance had planned to back their new currency with gold to challenge the U.S. dollar’s global supremacy. The members China, Russia, and India accumulated massive amounts of gold in 2023. The three countries are the top buyers of gold this year, accumulating the precious metal as reserves in their Central Banks. However, the BRICS’ idea of backing their new currency with gold to take on the U.S. dollar is a bad idea. If the currency wars come down to gold, then the U.S. wins hands down.</p>

 <p>The U.S. holds the highest number of gold reserves of all of BRICS combined. As of 2023, the U.S. holds 8,133 tons of gold and no other country comes close to beating its feat.</p> 
 <div class="quads-location quads-ad15192 " id="quads-ad15192" style="float:none;margin:0px 3px 3px 3px;padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">

 <p>The previous 5-nation alliance held 5,495 tons of gold in 2023. Even after the alliance became an 11-member group, the newly expanded union holds 6,600.23 tons of gold combined in their respective Central Banks.</p> 
 <p><strong>Below are the <a rel="dofollow" title="GOLD" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/gold.html">GOLD</a> reserves accumulated by the new <a rel="dofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> bloc:</strong></p>

 <p>In conclusion, the idea of backing their new currency with <a rel="dofollow" title="GOLD" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/gold.html">GOLD</a> will fail as the U.S. has more of the precious metal in reserves than all of the alliances combined.</p>
