Whose Gold, if anyone’s, Is in Ft. Knox
by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:
If there is gold in Ft. Knox, whose is it?
Many bullion dealers believe that any gold in Ft. Knox is not ours. Over the decades the gold was “leased” to bullion dealers who sold it into the gold market, thereby protecting the value of the dollar by holding down the gold price.
“Leasing” the gold means that the US can still claim to own the gold. A sale has to be recorded or reported, but not a “lease.”
LBMA’s Gold Shortage Exposed: Spreads Widen as Paper Market Crumbles
from BullionStar:
Unprecedented Spreads Between Spot and Futures Prices in Gold and Silver
Over the past few weeks, financial markets have experienced an unprecedented widening of spreads between spot and futures prices for both gold and silver.
Traditionally narrow, these spreads have expanded to as much as USD $60 for gold and over USD $1 for silver. This significant discrepancy has created unique arbitrage opportunities, prompting substantial flows of physical metals from London to New York, as traders capitalize on lower spot prices in London and higher futures prices in New York.
DOGE prepares gold reserve ‘audit’ after top Republican invites Elon Musk to review Fort Knox
by Katelyn Caralle, Daily Mail:
Sen. Rand Paul is inviting Elon Musk to come to his state of Kentucky to review the largest reserves of gold in the U.S.
A libertarian X account with 2 million followers asked the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to set his sights on Fort Knox to make sure the U.S. supply of gold is still in its reserves.
Musk questioned why the gold supply is not reviewed every year, leading to speculation that he could look into the military base with the fortified vault full of U.S. gold.

“Let’s Do It”: Rand Paul Supports Fort Knox Physical Audit After ZeroHedge Suggestion Goes Viral
from ZeroHedge:
One of the biggest questions over the past 50 years is whether the gold at Fort Knox, Kentucky is really there, or if it’s been plundered.
What we do know is that the last ‘audit’ of America’s gold stash was conducted on Sept. 23, 1974, when the US Treasury opened just one of its 15 vaults at Fort Knox so politicians and reporters could swarm the site for a two-hour photo-op with roughly 6% of the alleged amount held. Adding to the complete farce, none of the bars being passed around for the cameras were matched to a serial number, assayed or tested for purity, or even verified as US holdings – as foreign countries have previously stored their gold at Fort Knox as well.
