It is now being held by the Bank of England, where the precious metal can be traded more easily &#8220;in a crisis situation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bank president Olaf Sleijpen said the move was &#8220;necessary to strengthen our resilience and preparedness&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The decision comes amid an ongoing trade dispute between the US and Canada, with both countries announcing fresh tariffs on each other after failed trade talks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">DNB said the transfer, which took place between March and August, saw 27 tonnes of gold bars moved from New York and Ottawa to Zeist in the Netherlands. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A similar quantity and quality was then moved to London, with no need to melt the bars down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Exactly <i class=\"ssrcss-xbdn93-ItalicText e5tfeyi2\">how <\/i>so much gold was transported across the Atlantic Ocean has not been revealed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The rest of the transfer was carried out by selling the gold in New York, and repurchasing it in London, the bank said<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">, <!-- -->external<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Combining the processes of buying and selling and physical transport has allowed DNB to spread the risks associated with such a complex physical gold relocation,&#8221; the statement said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">DNB did not confirm what it was referring to with its mention of &#8220;geopolitical unrest&#8221; but the US economy remains in an uncertain position due to the country&#8217;s ongoing war with Iran, which has impacted global trade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Canada, meanwhile, has been hit hard by US tariffs on its key sectors of steel, aluminium, lumber and automobiles as well as an additional 50% levy on about C$28bn ($20bn; \u00a315bn) of Canadian goods announced in August. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">DNB said that gold that is held with the Bank of England &#8220;is regarded as the world&#8217;s most easily tradable gold,&#8221; and therefore more readily available in a crisis than if it was still in the US or Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Prior to Wednesday&#8217;s announcement, the DNB held 31.3% of its gold in New York and 19.7% in Ottawa. This has now fallen to 18.5% in both countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The total Dutch gold stock was 612.4 tonnes at the end of 2025 and has been valued at \u20ac72.2 billion, DNB said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The bank&#8217;s share of gold in London has increased from 18.1% to 32.1% after the move, while it still holds 30.8% of its reserves in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
