Swiss exports of gold to India doubled to a four month high of 72.5 mln metric tonnes. On the other hand, Swiss gold exports to Hong Kong fell by about a quarter to 30 mln metric tonnes in March.”
“Overall Swiss exports of gold, which are not sensitive to the strength of the Swiss franc, rose 65% in March to 223.3 metric tonnes. This is the highest in at least two years.
