Gold just did something it's not supposed to do.
Normally, when prices rise, buyers pull back. Not this year. Central banks bought 244 tonnes in Q1 2026 alone, and a record 45% say they're buying more over the next 12 months.
That's not speculation. That's sovereign policy.
Institutions with 50-year time horizons quietly reshaping their reserves. Worth paying attention to.
