What Caused the Gold Crash? Prior to crash, Wall Street sold well over $1 billion in structured gold-linked notes (bond + derivative) which provided higher yield that bonds. If gold fell below a certain level, usually $1530, this would cause major losses and cause heavy selling. As gold trades just above $1530, Goldman Sachs tells its clients to short it in the futures market and predicts it will fall to $1390 by end of year. Someone sells 400 tonnes of gold in London on April 15 th (only a handful of possibilities).

What Caused the Gold Crash? Gold falls below $1530 and all the way to $1335. Almost 100% chance that 400 tonne sale is a short (no one has that much gold), so it will have to be bought back. In late April/early May, 300 tonnes of gold exits GLD and IAU. U.S. needs to return gold to Germany and has promised 300 tonnes by 2020 (request came after Fed refused to submit to an audit).

What Will Happen Gold/silver are trading just above their lows giving you a chance to accumulate. High-priced gold production is at $1300. Big trading houses keep predicting that gold will fall to $1200 or $1000 (this helps them). If this happened, all physical gold supply globally would disappear because of huge demand. Gold (and silver) will eventually experience a massive short squeeze. Before that, anything and everything could happen, including big temporary drops.
