LONDON, 7 November 2017 – Italy's second best-selling daily paper, La Repubblica, today reports BullionVault's latest trading update as an insight into global gold investment demand.
"The volume traded in October at BullionVault, the world's No.1 precious metals exchange site, collapsed by almost a third compared to the previous 12 months average," says the newspaper's online report.

"The BullionVault Gold Investor Index still records more buyers than sellers: a sign that demand is still alive. And whoever possesses gold, in many cases, keeps it tight."
