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


Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/05/2014 01:07 -0500

Futures market Precious Metals

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

Gold dumped...





and silver too..





As The USD pushes higher.

One more random thing... the oddly spurious correlation between gold prices and Japanese bank VaR proxies is back again
