London's gold market is more liquid than bonds - LBMA

LONDON (Reuters) - London's gold market is much more liquid than government or corporate bonds, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) said on Thursday, presenting new figures which it said meant gold should not be subject to tough new liquidity rules. The rules, due to go into force in the European Union in 2021, treat physically traded gold and other precious metals like any other commodity and require banks to hold more assets to match their exposure as a buffer against adverse price..
