LONDON, 18 September 2014 – Ahead of the referendum on Scotland leaving the UK, gold demand from people living there has leapt, reports major financial news-service CNBC today, citing BullionVault data.
Acknowledging that September typically sees a rise in private investor demand from the summer, "The uplift in activity from Scottish residents had been notable," CNBC says.
Scottish residents, as a proportion of customers using the peer-to-peer Order Board on BullionVault – the world's largest provider of physical gold ownership online – have risen from 4.1% over the first 2 weeks of the month to 8.9% on Tuesday, just after a shock opinion poll put the "Yes" campaign ahead.
