G'day,
‘Fat-fingered trader’ sends price of gold spiralling after accidentally selling 1.8m ounces in one hit
A ‘fat-fingered trader’ sent the price of gold spiralling after accidentally selling 1.8m ounces in one hit.
Traders said the sale had likely been a mistake as the price of gold dropped to $1,236 an ounce in the few hours after the market opened – its lowest in more than a month.
The price plunged at 9am as a City dealer made the mistake, moving a higher volume than was even seen in the market panic that followed Donald Trump’s election or the Brexit vote.
