I’ve a better solution: Why not sell some of the hoard, taking advantage of soaring prices and rampant demand? I don’t know whether gold prices are nearing a peak or will keep rising. Nagel said in 2024 he hadn’t considered selling gold for a “nanosecond” and he’s said similar more recently. Although the central bank isn’t a returns-obsessed hedge fund, it might be a good moment to take profits. To recap, central bank demand is contributing to skyrocketing gold prices, together with feverish retail speculation and the so-called debasement trade.
