LONDON, 17 June 2016 – Data from BullionVault is cited this morning by The Times to show a surge in UK savers buying gold ahead of next week's referendum on UK membership of the European Union.
"New account openings by UK residents in June were 75% above the monthly average for the past year," says The Times, one of Britain's top 5 best-selling newspapers, and its longest-running daily journal.
"Users have now added three-quarters of a tonne so far in 2016 to their gold holdings. Altogether, client gold now totals a record 35.5 tonnes, more than most of the world's central banks hold."
