Gold as well as silver experienced a small crash at the beginning of today's European session. Gold slumped from $1,905 to $1,875 in a matter of minutes while silver plunged from $26.91 to around $25.97. While both precious metals managed to bounce off the lows, pressure remains. The move was likely accelerated by triggering of stop loss orders below $1,900 in case of gold.
