🇫🇷🇺🇸 France just pulled all its remaining gold out of the New York Federal Reserve.
129 tonnes moved from U.S. custody to Paris vaults between July 2025 and January 2026.
All 2,437 tonnes of French gold reserves are now entirely in France for the first time since the 1920s.
France says it's "not politically motivated," just upgrading to modern standard bars.
But the timing is notable given global tensions and the Iran war.
They also made €13 billion profit on the swap due to rising gold prices.

After Donald Trump gave the Islamic Republic 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s permanent representative to the International Maritime Organization said the waterway remains open to all except what he called Iran’s “enemies.”
Ali Mousavi said ships can pass through the strait if security and safety arrangements are coordinated with Iranian authorities, adding that Tehran is ready to work with the International Maritime Organization and other countries to improve maritime safety and protect seafarers in the Persian Gulf.
“Diplomacy remains Iran’s priority,” Mousavi said, but added that a “complete cessation of aggression” and “mutual trust and confidence” were more important.
He added that US and Israeli attacks on Iran were at the “root of the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz.”

Women in ancient Egypt were regarded as the equals of men in every aspect save that of occupation. It is often assumed that women in the ancient world held little power or influence. However, women in ancient Egypt could become highly influential physicians, political advisors, scribes or even rulers. But like women in many cultures throughout history and today, they had to fight to acquire and hold onto their rights. The man was the head of the household and nation, but women ran the home and contributed to the stability of that nation as artisans, brewers, doctors, musicians, scribes, and many other jobs, sometimes even those involving authority over men.
One of central values of ancient Egyptian civilization, arguably the central value, was ma'at – the concept of harmony and balance in all aspects of one's life. This ideal was the most important duty observed by the pharaoh who, as the mediator between the gods and the people, was supposed to be a role model for how one lived a balanced life. Egyptian art, architecture, religious practices, and even governmental agencies all exhibit a perfect symmetry of balance and this can also be seen in gender roles throughout the history of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Women's social standing, however, depended on the support and approval of men and, in some cases, was denied or challenged. It also seems clear that many women were not aware of their rights and so never exercised them. Even so, the respect accorded to women in ancient Egypt is evident in almost every aspect of the civilization from religious beliefs to social customs. The gods were both male and female, and each had their own equally important areas of expertise. Women could marry who they wanted and divorce those who no longer suited them, could hold what jobs they liked – within limits – and travel as they pleased. The earliest creation myths of the culture all emphasize, to greater or lesser degrees, the value of the feminine principle.
Women in ancient Egypt worked in many jobs traditionally dedicated to them, but they were powerful enough to be independent, have their own workshops producing textiles, jewelry and other goods, and even take an important role in political life, become physicians or scribes. Although, they were underestimated by many historians for centuries, their strong position in the powerful civilization of ancient Egypt could be an inspiration for modern women in many parts of the world.
After thousands of years of equal rights, Ptolemy IV tried to stop the strong tradition of cults of women. He changed the law and canceled many rights that had made women equal to men. It was the beginning of the dark age characteristic for the upcoming dominating beliefs, which had their roots in Rome and Greece. However, Egyptian women didn't want to accept a patriarchal society. Until the power of the Egyptian civilization came to an end, they fought for their rights. Commonly, researchers accept that the end of Egyptian women’s independence arrived with the death of the great scientist Hypatia in 415 AD. Before that event took place, Ancient Egyptian women had thrived in society for more than three millennia.
