A nugget of info

. . . from the World Gold Council report (Gold Demand Trends for 2013) issued early this morning.

Hidden away in the middle of the report was an interesting observation--that Germany was the only European country in which investment demand for gold increased over 2012. I suppose all the other Europeans are happy with their euros.

I wonder if it is coincidental that the Bundesbank is the only European central bank to ask for its gold back from the US?
