Gold is often talked about as a "safe haven that goes up." But the Russian central bank's gold holdings decreased by about 900,000 ounces in the first 4 months, reminding us of one thing: when central banks buy or sell gold, it doesn't necessarily mean they're bullish or bearish.

Sometimes gold is a reserve, and other times it's a tool for liquidity. Real interest rates, dollar credit, fiscal cash flow, and the sanctions environment all intertwine, causing gold prices to become a real grind.

For newbies looking at gold, just remember: it's not just a commodity; it's more like a thermometer of trust in the dollar system.
