The precious metal rallied as much as 8.1pc to nearly $1,360 an ounce, its highest since March 2014, after dipping as low as $1,255 an ounce after voting closed last night.
It is has since tiptoed back from that high, but is up still up 4.96pc at $1,319.40.
Adrian Ash at online gold trading platform BullionVault.com commented: “The surging gold price clearly shows the panic sweeping financial markets.”
