Gold jumps to $1400, silver U-turns after two-year low

There is some very spooky stuff going on in precious metals.

Gold has spiked more than $30 higher in the past few minutes, reaching $1400.

Gold traded as low as $1338 in Asia but has quickly turned around. If gold can hang onto the gains it will break an 8-session losing streak and form an outside bullish reversal on the daily chart.
