Gold Demand Surges Amid Economic Uncertainty

London-based bullion dealer Sharps Pixley has seen its vaults reach capacity, with CEO Omar Leiss seeking to build an additional depository to accommodate the influx of clients.
A recent survey by HSBC found that nearly half of high net-worth investors plan to increase their gold allocations in the next year, while only 13% said they had plans to decrease their gold holdings.
