BRICS Nears Decision On Gold, Silver Exchange At 2025 Summit

HomeNews* BRICS will decide on creating a new precious metals exchange at its 2025 summit in Brazil.

• The proposed exchange would offer an index for Gold, silver, and nickel, separate from Western-backed benchmarks.
• Russia introduced the idea, aiming for fair pricing and increased trade among member countries.
• If approved, the development could change global price discovery for key metals.
• The summit will take place on July 6 and 7 in Rio de Janeiro, though the presidents of Russia and China will not attend. BRICS countries are preparing to vote on launching their own precious metals exchange during the 2025 summit. The decision is set for the July gathering in Rio de Janeiro, as the group considers a new index to track metals trading away from Western-led financial systems.

If the exchange moves forward, it would function as an alternative to existing Western indexes and could influence prices of gold, silver, and other major metals. “A newly-launched BRICS precious metals exchange, if approved, might reshape price discovery in gold, silver, and other commodities,” according to the report.

Implementing a new metals exchange will be complex, requiring the accreditation of market participants and strict oversight to ensure accurate value tracking. The process would also introduce a new standard for global metal prices.

BRICS has large supplies of metals like gold, silver, and nickel, giving the group an advantage in starting the new index. The report states that the introduction of this exchange could update trading patterns and impact broader commodity markets.

The 17th BRICS summit will occur in Brazil on July 6 and 7. Leaders from Russia and China will not attend, but the initiative remains on the agenda for member countries.
