Gold and silver could be heading toward one of their biggest price moves if a major change is made to how the United States values its gold reserves. Mario Innecco, financial markets and macroeconomics analyst, discussed the possibility of a U.S. gold revaluation. Innecco argued that a higher official gold price could create a new floor for gold and lift silver prices as well.
Mario Innecco said that if the U.S. government announced a new official value for its gold reserves, gold might never trade below that new level again. According to him, if gold were officially revalued to around $4,222 per ounce, it could become a long-term price floor. In that case, he believes silver could also benefit because both metals often move in the same direction during major market changes.
He pointed out that the official statutory price of U.S. Treasury gold is still $42.22 per ounce, a figure that has remained unchanged since 1973. Before that, the statutory price had been adjusted only a few times, including in 1934 when it was raised from about $20.67 per ounce. Innecco argued that these changes are rare, but history shows they have had lasting effects on the official value of gold.
Innecco also noted that many gold supporters have long called for a full audit of U.S. gold reserves, although he believes financial markets would likely accept the government's reported holdings even without one. He said the U.S. Treasury is widely believed to own about 261.5 million troy ounces of gold. If those holdings were revalued from $42.22 to around $4,222 per ounce, the Treasury's balance sheet would increase by more than one trillion dollars.

Clive Thompson, retired private banker and wealth management advisor, discussed the same topic from a government finance perspective. He explained that the U.S. has carried out similar gold revaluations before, especially in 1934 when the government changed the official gold price. He said that if the government decided to revalue gold again, it could use a sale and repurchase agreement with the Federal Reserve.
According to Thompson, the government could temporarily sell its gold to the Federal Reserve at a much higher price and receive newly created money in return. It would then immediately buy the gold back using special gold notes instead of cash. In this process, the government would still own the gold while also keeping the money received from the Federal Reserve.
