Yes, this has me puzzled too: what happened between 2 and 4 pm ?? It's a clear flatline for almost that whole 2 hour stretch. I didn't hear or read a word to account for this. Weird .. does anyone here know what happened during that time in the gold market? I see at Kitco that that's when the NY Globex market starts to trade for the afternoon. So maybe it's just a problem that rendered them inactive for that time .. ?
