Why are European countries moving their gold out of North America?

European countries are relocating their gold reserves from North America to bring them closer to home. Specifically, The Netherlands moved 86 tonnes of gold to London. This shift occurs as central banks rethink their storage strategies in response to increasing geopolitical tensions, market risks, and rising gold demand. These strategic movements reflect a broader trend among central banks seeking to mitigate risks by securing their assets within their own regions or closer jurisdictions.
