Gold is now the top U.S. export
A numismatics column says gold became the top U.S. export, mainly to Switzerland, Hong Kong, and the UK.
A numismatics column reports that gold became the highest-value U.S. export starting in October 2025, ahead of oil, pharmaceuticals, and aircraft. It says February 2026 export tonnage may have set a record, with the largest volumes going to Switzerland, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom. The author speculates that much of the metal ultimately reaches China and notes official U.S. gold reserves are reported unchanged.
