What happens when gold, long seen as a timeless store of value, begins to redefine its place in global finance? In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury is joined by ET’s banking editor Sangita Mehta and Ritesh Jain, founder of Pinetree Macro and a leading voice in global wealth and finance, to explore the forces behind gold’s resurgence from central banks shifting reserves away from the dollar to the rise of dual trade settlement systems splitting along geopolitical lines. 
With prices recently hitting a record high of $3,791 an ounce more than double since the Russia-Ukraine war and India now the sixth-largest holder of gold after China, the conversation probes what this surge really signals.

As economic paradigms shift, the discussion raises a pressing question: is gold moving from commodity to cornerstone in the architecture of global trade and policy?
