The GoldFix Brics Summit Suite
July appears significant for several reasons. Basel III implementation looms, although its enforcement remains uncertain. Seasonally, July has historically delivered strong performance for gold. Over the past 30 years, the metal has shown a positive average return during this month, aligning with broader summer strength in precious metals—often preceding the volatility of September.
The BRICS 2025 Dedollarization Endgame
Gold becomes the store of value. Yuan becomes the international medium of exchange. Blockchain becomes the unit of account ledger in the multipolar rollout
But for gold market observers in 2025, the central event is neither seasonal nor regulatory. It’s geopolitical: the upcoming BRICS Summit, scheduled for July 6–8, immediately following the U.S. Independence Day holiday.
We have catalogued for your enjoyment the main discussion topics as tracked by ourselves and our colleagues Bai Xiaojun and Eric Yeung over the past several years. The theme from China’s point of view is a need to further advance the internationalization of the Yuan in trade as a reliable alternative to the USD in payment chains for trade deals.
Brics 2025: China Builds Global Gold-Vault Network
Housekeeping: We have several posts in the cue on the BRICS Summit. This one is a summary of their agenda as it pertains to next steps towards Gold as a tool of dedollarization and with it internationalizing Yuan use
The mechanism by which they will do so is Gold. They are democratizing Gold ownership and use as sound uncompromised collateral not just to settle Yuan backed trades, but to create the much needed infrastructure development to parts of the world held hostage by IMF infected dollar debt.
July’s BRICS Summit will quietly advance China’s gold-linked yuan settlement system, expanding beyond trade rhetoric to structural change. China aims to internationalize the yuan by offering implicit gold convertibility—especially to oil exporters—anchoring trust without formal backing. The innovation this year: decentralized BRICS-affiliated gold vaults, built abroad and held locally, enabling collateralized trade and investment flows across the Global South. Gold becomes the reserve asset, functioning like a neutral treasury bond. This new settlement architecture positions the yuan as a credible challenger to the dollar in global trade. The implications for gold pricing, liquidity, and cross-border finance are profound and unfolding.
As such we have unlocked our series for free subscribers as the first, and according to many, the best most comprehensive coverage of the upcoming BRICS summit and its core themes worth noting.
