    Ahh yeah, neglected to mention time and price. I was referring to an extraordinary large one minute candle on the gc that printed tween 1.47- 48 am eastern. printed low at 1737 about to 1782 in a few seconds. Called in to verify and someone confirmed the data. I was long and was just like jaw dropped .... and the spread widened to 20 - 30 points. just curious to see if anyone else saw it or i need to see someone.

    Hi all,

    I'm new to trading gold futures and just a quick question on the GC futures contracts on the 26th.

    Shortly after Bernankes speech, dow jones fell more than 200 points before making a quick recovery and turning green.
    From my short time in observing gold price, when the market is strengthening, there is usually a sell off in gold.

    So why then, when the dow jones finished 134 points higher, gold also climed up and finished $50 higher for the day?
