It was precisely a month ago when, in "Vicious Gold Slamdown Breaks Gold Market For 20 Seconds" we observed how a furious gold sale managed to not only send the price of fold plunging but in the process it halted all gold trading on the CME for a whopping 20 seconds! Moments ago it just happened again. As part of the already noted massive gold slamdown just before 9 am Eastern, when "someone" sold an epic 2 million ounces of gold in one trade, the CME just went dark for 10 seconds, blaming it on an appropriately named "stop logic" event.
Massive Sell Order Takes Out Gold Bidstack, Sends Metal To Three Month Lows
In what world is it rational to decide that dumping 800,000 ounces of notional gold into the London Fix (or COMEX open) makes sense? In the space of 4 minutes, almost 2 million ounces notional were flushed into the gold futures markets dumping the price of gold to 3-month lows. This is the 4th down-day in a row and yet another "spike" around the open/close that regulators remains ignorant of.
