Why did Gold drop, when DJI reached 19500?
Short answer - Margin Call
High leverages employed by businesses & individuals that presented the HIGH credit risk that the world is in today.
Cashing out to meet margin calls from gold is a sound strategy only if it was used for hedging years ago.
Warning, there are still traders & institutions who are leveraging at high levels unless they have cash to sustain, liquidation to meet margin calls are possible.
Gold is ready to go back to its trending high.
