Central banks hold more gold than US treasuries now. Behind the recent increase in gold's purchase by countries' central banks are three factors- a weakened dollar, uncertainty post Trump assumed office & geopolitics. Central banks' purchase of gold is also driving up its price which has increased by 35% this year.
