Uzbekistan's Foreign Reserves Are 90% Gold. Is That Too Much?

World Gold brief based on reporting byEBC Financial Group
Brief

Reported by EBC Financial Group: “Uzbekistan's Foreign Reserves Are 90% Gold. Is That Too Much?”. Gold settled at $4,166 an ounce on October 14, 2026 — $133.95 per gram, -0.27% on the day. The headline carries a figure: 90% — quoted as published, not independently verified. The story touches Uzbekistan: we track local prices and customs flows for those.

Why it matters

Official-sector buying or selling changes physical demand and long-term market expectations. Persistent purchases can support the market, but do not guarantee an immediate price increase.
