Gold settles above $1,700 as oil's May contract plunges by about 90%

 

It has come off that a little in spot market- a daily "print" is taken at 1:30pm EST and that is the settlement price. Oil is "stuck" at .01 cent. Don't think they know what to do with it here.

 

Gold futures on Monday settled solidly higher, reclaiming a perch above $1,700, as early gains for the dollar faded and as a tumble in crude-oil prices-a sign of waning risk appetite, provided a pathway for the precious metal to gain some ground higher. June gold GCM20, +0.59% closed up $12.40, or 0.7%, to end at $1,711.20 an ounce. The gain in gold comes as oil's May contract was plunging to the single-digits CL.1, -98.85%, shedding nearly 90% of its value as investors worry about a lack of storage capacity for the commodity and a glut of oil swirling in the market. Investors appeared to be picking up gold against that backdrop, experts said.

unless you buy COMEX contracts you are left out and the pricing for those are all washed out with today's move.ETF's are a joke. Best to watch it from afar and take great pleasure in it's destruction.
