On the 23 day, the most active gold futures traded in December fell $101.9 an ounce, closing at $1639.8, the 5.9% lowest since August 1st.

Many analysts on the Federal Reserve announced on the 21 day through the "sell short buy long" adjustment.

In an interview with reporters, Frank Les, a trader, said that the fund clearing was once again the theme of the market. In the commodity futures market, a large number of funds with large net positions in the commodity futures market were cleared up in many markets including metals, agricultural products (14.40,0.14,0.98%), and so on, and commodities continued to suffer heavy losses.

Lash said that because of the difficulty in keeping international gold prices stable, the recent sharp shock in the gold market and the divergence of knowledge about the effectiveness of gold hedging made us dollar and US Treasury bonds become the "safe haven" for investors when market fear increased.

Mike Daly, senior gold analyst at Bailey financial group, said that the continuous rise in the US dollar and the expectation that the gold market was overbought has intensified the already heavy sell-off pressure in the gold market, but the global economic outlook is low and the political geopolitical uncertainties are not decreasing.

The gold price has fallen 9.6% this week, the biggest week since the mid 80s of last century.

Silver futures prices for December delivery fell $6.477, or 17.7%, at $30.101 an ounce.

Platinum futures in October dropped $97.4 an ounce, or 5.7%, to $1613.2.
