In this episode of America’s Gold Authority® Podcast, host Mike Barnes sits down with Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and former Director of the U.S. Mint, to explore the growing trend of central banks buying physical gold at historic levels. Philip explains why more than 75% of central banks plan to increase their gold reserves over the next five years, and how this behavior is influencing global markets.
The conversation also dives into geopolitical tensions, especially in the Middle East, and their impact on gold prices. With gold recently becoming the second-largest reserve asset globally—surpassing even the euro—Philip outlines what this shift signals about long-term financial strategies. Whether you’re watching the dollar or the global economy, this episode offers timely insights into why central banks are leaning on gold more than ever before—and what that could mean for those looking to strengthen their own financial resilience.
