There's a number worth paying close attention to—the U.S. Treasury's ledger shows a huge valuation mismatch in gold reserves.
The current situation is this: the U.S. officially holds 261.5 million ounces of gold, recorded at the 1973 price of $42.22 per ounce, so the book value is only $11 billion. But here's the problem: the current gold price has approached $4,500 per ounce. Doing the math—the actual value of this gold exceeds $1.1 trillion.
In other words, there is an approximately $1 trillion hidden value gap in the Treasury's report.
Why is this important? Suppose this value is released someday—what could happen? First, a trillion-level liquidity influx into the market; second, asset prices could enter a new upward cycle; third, the flow pattern of global capital might be rewritten. Don't be fooled by the daily discussions about interest rate hikes and cuts; sometimes, it's these hidden assets buried in the ledger that can move the market.
Even activating just 10% of this could significantly support the U.S. stock market and the dollar credit system. This is no longer just a prediction; it's a fact based on fifty years of accumulated data.

Wow, the book value difference is just too outrageous. This move by the US is basically an invisible asset.

Wait, 10 trillion in hidden assets? This logic is a bit too good to be true. Is the US really willing to spend this much money?

*adjusts alchemical instruments* so basically the fed's been holding a trillion-dollar transmutation event in their vaults this whole time... the accounting equivalent of a locked liquidity pool nobody knows about. honestly the yield optimization potential here is insane if that capital ever gets unlocked into the broader market
