Germany and Italy are facing mounting domestic pressure to repatriate more than a third of their gold reserves — worth an estimated US$245 billion — currently held in New York by the US Federal Reserve.
Germany and Italy hold the world’s second and third largest gold reserves, trailing only the US. A substantial portion of this metal is stored overseas, primarily in Manhattan’s Federal Reserve Bank.
This longstanding arrangement, based largely on postwar financial realities and New York’s role as a major global gold-trading hub, is now being questioned by officials and commentators across Europe’s political spectrum.
Fabio De Masi, a former member of European Parliament now affiliated with Germany’s new left-wing populist BSW party, told the Financial Times there are “strong arguments” to bring more of Germany’s bullion back home.
Taxpayers Association of Europe (TAE) President Michael Jäger echoed the same sentiments last month: ‘Trump wants to control the Fed, which would also mean controlling the German gold reserves in the US,’ he told Reuters.
‘It’s our money, it should be brought back.’
Similar calls are being echoed in Italy, where economic commentator Enrico Grazzini recently warned that “leaving 43 per cent of Italy’s gold reserves in America under the unreliable Trump administration is very dangerous for the national interest.’ He was writing in Il Fatto Quotidiano ahead of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s visit to Washington.
Fueling this renewed concern are statements made by US President Donald Trump, who earlier this month warned that he may have to “force something” if the US Federal Reserve does not lower interest rates.
Trump has also made direct appeals to the Department of Energy to stimulate oil production, signaling what critics interpret as increasing politicization of independent institutions like the Fed.
The TAE has urged both Germany and Italy to reconsider their reliance on the Fed. “We are very concerned about Trump tampering with the Federal Reserve Bank’s independence,” Jäger said. “Our recommendation is to bring the (German and Italian) gold home to ensure European central banks have unlimited control over it at any given point in time.”
Public skepticism over the safety of foreign gold holdings is not new.
In Germany, a grassroots movement that began in 2010 eventually prompted the Bundesbank to repatriate 674 metric tons of gold from New York and Paris between 2013 and 2017. The operation, which cost 7 million euros, resulted in half of Germany’s reserves being stored domestically by 2020. Nevertheless, 37 percent of its gold remains in the US.
Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party once echoed similar sentiments while in opposition, pledging in 2019 to bring Italy’s gold back home. But since assuming power in 2022, Meloni has largely gone silent on the issue.
Skepticism about US stewardship is not limited to political rhetoric.
According to the World Gold Council’s latest survey on central bank gold reserves, 43 percent of the central banks surveyed plan to increase their gold holdings in the coming year — a record high.
The overwhelming majority of respondents (95 percent) expect global central bank gold reserves to keep rising, citing gold’s performance during crises, its inflation-hedging capabilities and its role as a diversifier. Notably, 59 percent of central banks surveyed reported holding at least part of their gold reserves domestically, up from 41 percent in 2024.
Although the Bank of England remains the most popular vaulting location, the World Gold Council’s survey reveals growing caution over US custodianship: only 7 percent of respondents said they planned to increase domestic storage last year, but the figure jumped significantly in 2025.
New bill calls for US gold audit
Adding another layer of complexity is the push in Washington for greater transparency about America’s gold reserves. House Bill 3795, introduced by Representative Thomas Massie and backed by three co-sponsors, calls for the first comprehensive audit of US gold holdings in over six decades.
The bill would mandate a full inventory and assay of gold stored at Fort Knox, West Point and the Denver Mint, as well as a forensic accounting of all transactions involving US gold over the last 50 years.
“The question as to who actually owns the bars outright is really the most crucial question. And if it is shown that America does not actually own the gold, if the gold is there, but America does not own it, (or) if it has been pledged or leased or swapped or otherwise encumbered in any way … this would be a huge, huge detriment to the US and the global economy.”
Cortez emphasized that prior audits of US gold reserves have been insufficient.
“These aren’t audits that have been done on the metal itself, but rather the storage containers that the metal is supposedly stored in,’ he said. “Owners or operators of a depository who functioned like this would go to jail.”
He also pointed out that much of the gold held by the US government is impure by modern market standards, having been melted down from older coinage. That means even if the bars are there, refinement questions will remain.
While Trump has not explicitly endorsed HB 3795, he has expressed interest in the issue, stating, ‘We’re actually going to Fort Knox to see if the gold is there. Because maybe somebody stole the gold. Tons of gold.’

Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) and privately owned Hancock Prospecting said on Tuesday (June 24) that they will invest US$1.6 billion to develop the Hope Downs 2 iron ore project in Pilbara, Western Australia.
According to Rio Tinto, Hope Downs 2 has received all necessary approvals and is set to sustain production from the Hope Downs joint venture, in which Rio Tinto and Hancock are equal partners.
Each company will shell out US$0.8 billion for the project.
Hope Downs 2 holds the Hope Downs 2 and Bedded Hilltop deposits, which will have a combined total annual production capacity of 31 million tonnes.
“Approval of Hope Downs 2 is a key milestone for Rio Tinto, as we invest in the next generation of iron ore mines in the Pilbara,” said Rio Iron Ore Chief Executive Simon Trott in the company’s press release.
“These projects are part of our strategy to continue investing in Australian iron ore and to sustain Pilbara production for decades to come, supporting jobs, local businesses and the state and national economies.”
Pilbara is one of Australia’s key mining regions and has been critical to global steel supply for more than six decades.
The joint venture between Rio Tinto and Hancock was established in 2006. Production at Hope Downs 1 began in 2007.
In 2018, the joint venture opened Baby Hope, a new deposit at Hope Downs that was developed to help sustain existing capacity at the Hope 1 operation and support ongoing jobs at Hope Downs.
According to Rio Tinto, an average of 950 jobs will be created during construction of Hope Downs 2, and approximately 1,000 jobs will be sustained at Greater Hope Downs once operational.
The company expects to invest more than US$13 billion on new mines, plant and equipment from 2025 to 2027.
Rio Tinto and Hancock said ore from the new deposits will be processed at Hope Downs 1, with first ore expected and associated infrastructure planned to be operational by 2027.
Other Rio Tinto developments
Earlier this month, Rio Tinto opened the US$3.1 billion Western Range iron ore mine in Western Australia.
Western Range is a joint venture between Rio Tinto and China Baowu Group, a state-owned iron and steel Chinese company. The operation is projected to produce up to 25 million tonnes of iron ore annually.
Rio also recently announced a leadership shakeup after Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm stepped down.
Hancock to unite Roy Hill and Atlas Iron
In a separate development, Hancock said it is uniting its Roy Hill and Atlas Iron operations under a new banner called Hancock Iron Ore. The major operational realignment is set to take effect on July 1.
Executive Chair Gina Rinehart said that the world of iron ore is evolving, so Hancock follows.
“We are not just rebranding. We are building on the exceptional legacy and remarkable achievements of Roy Hill, Atlas Iron and Hancock,’ Australian Mining quotes her as saying.
Roy Hill is among Australia’s leading iron ore miners, delivering approximately 64 million tonnes annually to steelmaking markets in nearby Asia. Atlas Iron exports 10 million tonnes a year.
The latter was acquired by Hancock in 2018 and has since undergone ‘a successful operational turnaround.’
Hancock and Rinehart have a long history of investing in Australian iron ore and other commodities.

Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: LODFF) (‘Lode Gold’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it has engaged experienced capital markets and strategic advisors to support the advancement of its Fremont Mine in Mariposa, California. These advisors will assist in securing strategic investors and partners as the Company moves into the next phase of development.
As part of its current development strategy, Lode Gold is also engaging with mining contractors and progressing with engineering evaluations aimed at optimizing the mine plan and initiating permitting. The Company’s evaluation is focused on three key priorities:
- High-grading during early production years to enhance initial project economics
- Scaling production to over 100,000 ounces per year in later phases
‘Our objective is to take a disciplined and scalable approach to developing the Fremont Project,’ said Wendy T. Chan, CEO and Director at Lode Gold. ‘By securing the right strategic partnership, we will focus on various technical initiatives to optimize project economics, expedite permitting and get to production in near term. Being in a jurisdiction that is now increasingly aligned with domestic resource development, Fremont presents an interesting investment opportunity.’
The Fremont Mine is an advanced-stage exploration and development asset, on 100% private and patented land. It is located in Mariposa, an Opportunity Zone designated to attract investments with tax incentives provided by Trump’s Administration. The 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlined positive project economics at a gold price of USD $1,750, based on an annual production rate of approximately 130,000 ounces. More recently, an NI 43 -101 compliant mineral resource estimate (MRE 2025) was completed with a new geological model that separately evaluated vein and stockwork mineralization. Only 8% of the total mineral resource, filed at SEDAR+ (April 2025) has been extracted, mostly in the first 250 m. At a 1 g/t cut-off, the average true width is 53 m (at 3 g/t cut-off, the width is 16.8 m).
Upcoming Near Term 2025-2026 Catalysts:
- Rehabilitation of 2 km underground workings
- Expedite access to two adits, out of a total of 14
- Channel sampling to upgrade resources to M&I
- Metallurgy and Recovery Studies
- Geotechnical work and rock mechanics assessments
- Drilling 3,000 m to initiate Pre-Feasibility Study
- Completion of Pre-Feasibility Study (underground bulk mining and other optimized methods will be evaluated)
About Lode Gold
Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD) is an exploration and development company with projects in highly prospective and safe mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.
In Canada, its assets in Yukon sit on the southern portion of the prolific Tombstone Belt. It covers 99.5 km2 across a 27 km strike. Over 4,500 m have been drilled with confirmed gold endowment and economic drill intercepts over 50 m. There are four reduced-intrusive targets (RIRGS), in addition to sedimentary-hosted orogenic exploration gold.
In New Brunswick, Lode Gold, through its subsidiary 1475039 B.C. Ltd. (soon to be spun out into Gold Orogen), has created one of the largest land packages with its Acadian Gold Joint Venture, consisting of an area that spans 445 km2 with a 44 km strike. It has confirmed gold endowment with mineralized rhyolites.
In preparation for the spin-out, NI 43 101 technical reports have been prepared for all assets in Yukon and New Brunswick in 2024.
In the United States, the Company is focused on its advanced exploration and development asset, the Fremont Mine in Mariposa, California. According to the NI 43- 101 Compliant 2025 MRE, the asset contains 1.3 Moz at 4.4 g/t (3 g/t cut-off) with an average true width: 16.8 m.
Fremont was previously mined at 10.7 g/t. During gold mining prohibition in WWII, its mining license was suspended. Only 8% of the resource identified in the 2025 MRE has been extracted. This asset has exploration upside and is open at depth (three step-out holes at 1,300 m hit structure and were mineralized) and on strike. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 m drilled, 23 km of underground workings and 14 adits. The project has excellent infrastructure and is close to electricity, water, roads, railhead and port.
Recently, the Company completed an internal scoping study, with a strategic pivot to 100% underground mining. Previously, in March 2023, the Company completed an NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) with an open pit and underground combination mine. The NI 43-101 technical reports are available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company’s website (www.lode-gold.com).

Oil prices plummeted over 6 percent on Monday (June 23) as Iran launched a missile strike on a US military base in Qatar in retaliation for American airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Reuters reported that Brent crude futures dropped US$4.90, or 6.3 percent, to settle at US$72.19 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slid US$4.60, or 6.2 percent, to US$69.23 per barrel.
The sharp declines followed initial spikes of nearly 5 percent on Sunday (June 22) evening, after US President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces had “obliterated” key Iranian nuclear sites in a joint response with Israel.
Despite dramatic headlines and a week of mounting hostilities, Iran’s retaliation against the US appears to have been designed to avoid triggering a full-scale energy crisis.
Tehran targeted the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military installation in the Middle East, and claimed it matched the number of bombs used by the US — a move analysts say may signal a desire to limit escalation.
“It is somewhat the lesser of the two evils. It seems unlikely that they’re going to try and close the Strait of Hormuz,” Matt Smith, lead oil analyst at data and analytics firm Kpler, told Reuters.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20 percent of the world’s oil supply flows daily, has long been seen as a flashpoint in Middle East conflict scenarios. Iran’s parliament has reportedly approved a measure to close the vital waterway, but implementation would require a nod from Iran’s national security council.
Experts have noted that such a move could prove harmful for Iran, which relies on the strait to export oil.
Oil prices face volatility
Oil traders initially braced for the worst as futures soared to five month highs on fears of supply disruptions.
Brent briefly touched US$81.40 before swiftly tumbling nearly US$9, while WTI reversed from US$78.40 to under $70 by Monday afternoon. The selloff was driven by relief that oil infrastructure was not targeted, as well as broader market optimism that hostilities may not spiral further — at least not yet.
Even so, shipping data indicates growing unease.
At least two oil supertankers made U-turns near the Strait of Hormuz following the US strikes.
The Coswisdom Lake and South Loyalty reversed course before ultimately entering the Persian Gulf, illustrating the caution with which commercial operators are treating the volatile region.
Market participants watch and wait
Oil’s tumble offered a temporary reprieve to global equities.
The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) rose 0.7 percent by mid-afternoon, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) gained 269 points. The Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) was up 0.8 percent as investors speculated that Iran’s restrained retaliation might mark a turning point — or at least a pause — in the military escalation.
“The key question is what comes next,” analysts at S&P Global Commodity Insights wrote in a note, as reported by the Financial Times. “Will Iran attack US interests directly or through allied militias? Will Iranian crude exports be suspended? Will Iran attack shipping in the Strait of Hormuz?”
Meanwhile, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to urge increased domestic production in an effort to suppress oil prices, posting: “To the Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!”
Earlier in the day, the president warned oil producers: “EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY.”
Trump’s concern underscores the political stakes of rising energy costs. Though oil prices have climbed around 10 percent since Israel’s initial strike on Iran 10 days ago, they remain below their January levels.
As oil markets brace for the next move, one thing is clear: while a major supply disruption has been avoided — for now — any shift in Tehran’s strategy could send prices spiraling again.
“So far, not a single drop of oil has been lost to the global market,” said Bjarne Schieldrop of SEB. “But the market is still on edge awaiting what Iran will do.”
