Gold is getting crushed. Again.

The yellow metal is at $1,140 per ounce, down by about 2.3%. It got as low as $1,137. This is the lowest level since April 2010.

Gold has been dropping to new lows for several weeks as the dollar has strengthened.

Oil is another commodity that is tumbling again. WTI crude oil prices dropped as low as $75.84 per barrel shortly after 5 a.m. ET. Brent crude touched $81.63. While this is great for consumers, this is troubling for the oil producers, who may be forced to idle unprofitable projects.

Because Nothing Says "Best Execution" Like Dumping $1.5 Billion In Gold Futures At 0030ET

For the 5th day in a row, "someone" has decided that 0030ET would be an appropriate time (assuming the 'seller' is an investor who prefers best execution rather than the standard non-economically-rational share-repurchaser in America) to be dumping large amounts of precious metals positions via the futures market. Tonight, with over 13,000 contracts being flushed through Gold - amounting to over $1.5 billion notional, gold prices tumbled $20 to $1151 (its lowest level since April 2010). Silver is well through $16 and back at Feb 2010 lows. The USDollar is also surging.

The timing of the dump is right as Japanese trading breaks for lunch

“The timing of the dump is right as Japanese trading breaks for lunch”

Lunch time is a common time for taking a dump.

Like any other non-cash holding, you don’t “lose” anything, or gain anything either,

until you sell it.

Stocks pay dividends.

Not saying stocks have less risk.
