Back down to up only $3 on the day, at $1676.
Yeah, we've officially hit that public "SELL EVERYTHING!!!" point in the meltdown.
Except bonds?
Money has to go somewhere, and usually in those sell everything panic modes it winds up in bonds.

Hopefully bonds provide a little buffer today, doesn't look like gold will.

Shows what I can predict, but I really thought gold might take off with this panic selling, oil prices plummeting, global pandemic thing we've got going on.

So far, not at all.

There are always way more factors that affect markets than you think. Gold itself may be more valuable than ever, but leveraged stock investors also have to sell something to cover their margin calls. But given enough time, secondary factors will run their course and things will work out.

In the meantime, everything is relative. When stocks are hitting circuit breakers, modest gold losses feel like great bargains. ;)

Especially since gold is still in positive territory for the year.
So far, anyway.

As I'm writing this, gold is still up about 1% YTD.
And these must be end times, because I've recently sold about 10% of my gold holdings at prices about $100 above where we are right now.
Not because I thought this would happen, but just to have lots of cash because I'm possibly going to buy a house later this year.

this could go either way .... it basically is saying we are in deep doo doo ...

it could be bad for stocks and bad for gold and long term bonds ..... finding buyers at these rates may be tough for bonds ... and margin calls may see both hammered

I'm going to guess that gold is going to the moon after a possible dive due to margin calls on stocks.
Bonds, I don't know about, because the interest rate cut may be opposed by devaluation of the dollar.

Inflation worries for bonds ... I mean who wants to buy a 30 year bond paying 1.50% and the govt spending another almost trillion dollars

These overnight markets in gold are very thin so we can't really have much confidence in their price discovery.

Looks like it's going to be an interesting day tomorrow. Crude is getting hammered again too. We will see though, the announcement coming today was a shocker, people may look at it differently after sleeping on it.

Right you were. Down $28.90, to 1501.

Wow, I was lucky to sell about 10% of my gold in the last couple of months!

Well I bought Friday with it down almost 9% last week.

I will add another 50k today It I doubt I will add more if we fall. I will just sit with it. I had as much as 500k in it at one time.

gold is in a bad position lately ... it ran up from the fear ,, now lost it pretty much and then some from the sell off ... the dilemma is it is not doing well with fear high and it stands high odds of getting beat up as fear declines and equities at these levels become the golden child

Help me understand. A world crisis and the Fed basically announces another QE (assuming this weakens the dollar) and gold prices crater????
