title: Gold is flooding out of the US at a record pace
description: "US non-monetary gold exports surged to a record $17.1 BILLION in October.\n\nThis refers to physical bullion shipped for investment, jewelry, and industrial use, not central bank reserves.\n\nThis marks an unprecedented spike compared with the typical ~$1–3B monthly range over the last 15 years.\n\nThe surge reflects soaring demand for hard assets as investors hedge against currency weakness, geopolitical tensions, and trade-policy uncertainty.\n\nTruly unprecedented.\n\nSource: Global Markets Investor"
