That something is either China finally revealing its true gold inventory, which is unlikely, or, more likely, the biggest fat finger in the history of gold, as a liquidity testing algo goes absolutely insane in the pre-open period (and loses its job on the BIS’ payroll).

Never in the history of US equity markets has the S&P 500 closed above its 5-day moving average for 28 days in a row… until today.
