Gold sees biggest gain since 2008 in rush for havens from Brexit

Gold rallied the most since the global financial meltdown of 2008 after the UK voted to leave the European Union, sending markets into a tailspin and investors piling into haven assets. Bullion for immediate delivery jumped as much as 8.1%, the most since 2008, and traded at $1 322.88 an ounce as of 7:10 a.m. in London. Prices touched a two-year high and trading volume on Comex was eight times the average for this time of day. Denominated in sterling, the metal soared a record 15% to 972.72 pounds.
