Both gold and silver were comatose all night long in the Far East…and all through European trading once again. However, the moment that the London p.m. fix was in, both metals’ prices went vertical. Silver got capped before it hit $13…but gold managed to close above $900, and is now above $910 as I write this. As I said yesterday…Friday is options expiry…so be ready for anything. But even I wasn’t expecting that. Today’s New York price action should be enlightening.
