There's a "glut of gold" in New York's vaults, BullionVault 's director of research, told CNBC .

More than 600 tons , or almost 20 million ounces of gold, has been transported into New York vaults since December last year .

Trump recently declared that sweeping U.S. tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada will be going forward after a postponement on their implementation expires next week .

There are lurking concerns that broader tariffs also come into play in the U.K. and Switzerland .

London , often referred to as the terminal market for gold, experienced a big impact from the shift.

London 's gold reserves in London 's vaults fell for the third consecutive month in January .

Large gold bars are also being pulled out of London to other refineries around the world.
