London Gold Market Faces Delays Amid Rising DemandThe London gold market is experiencing significant delays in withdrawals from the Bank of England's vaults, leading to concerns about liquidity and speculation that the city may be running out of physical gold.

The delays coincide with record demand for London gold, driven partly by arbitrage opportunities between London and New York markets. This surge in demand, fueled by fears of US tariffs on bullion, has led to a premium for physical gold in the US.
