Key Motivations
What this means
The gold/currency ratio measures how much of a country's money supply is "backed" by gold reserves. A higher ratio suggests stronger implicit gold backing of the currency. This country has relatively strong gold backing compared to peers.
Bullion Fear & Greed Index
Was the market fearful or greedy when Sweden was buying? Central banks often buy gold during market fear — the opposite of retail.
Gold/Silver Ratio
Central banks buy gold, not silver. Track the gold/silver ratio to understand relative value between the two metals.
Mining ETFs
Central bank buying supports gold prices, which flows through to mining company valuations. Track GDX, GDXJ, and miner sentiment.
