TheStreet: How Gold Measures Consumer Confidence

LONDON, 10 October 2012 - BullionVault's new Gold Investor Index is today featured by leading US finance and investment site, TheStreet.com.

"The Gold Investor Index measures the actual buying and selling decisions of people who are using BullionVault," explains Adrian Ash, head of research at BullionVault, is a telephone interview.

"We're the biggest in the world at what we do, which is direct ownership of physical gold bullion for private investors.

"What I think is interesting is that the last time gold prices were at this level, it was making headlines across the media. Whereas this time round, there is much less anxiety among Western households - who are by far the majority of our database on BullionVault.

"People are perhaps less concerned about those things which professional investors seem to be worried by - such as the outlook for inflation, what the European Central Bank is doing, and of course QE3 in the States."
