Gold hasn’t actually moved, well not in the true sense of movement, when purchased. It’s just sold on paper, in essence in the majority of cases it simply stays put under different ownership.😇😇😇

Look at what happened in the London bullion and precious metal exchange. HSBC were in a corner... Silver was reportedly over subscribed. It all went hush all of a sudden

The UK sold about 395 tonnes of gold during Gordon Brown’s time as Chancellor (1999–2002). To estimate what it would be worth today:
* 1 tonne = 32,150.7 troy ounces
* 395 tonnes = about 12.7 million troy ounces
Using a current gold price of roughly $4,100–$4,150 per troy ounce (prices fluctuate daily):
12.7 million ounces × $4,130 ≈ $52.5 billion
Converted roughly into pounds (depending on exchange rate), that is around:
≈ £40–£42 billion worth of gold today
For comparison:
* The UK received about $3.5 billion (£1.9 billion at the time) from the sales.
* The same gold at today’s market value would be roughly 15 times higher in dollar terms.
However, the Treasury’s argument at the time was that the proceeds were not simply held as cash — they were reinvested into other assets (mainly interest-bearing foreign currency assets), so the calculation of the “loss” depends on whether you compare gold price alone or the investment returns from the replacement assets.
The controversy remains because gold went from around $275/oz average sale price to over $4,000/oz today — a very large rise.
