U.S. Shutdown Triggers Gold Rebound… Check That, Sell-off (YahooFinance)

So why did the market sell off gold, in the face of what could turn into a huge market destabilizing event? Well, some analysts believe that all of that risk had already been priced in, so there was no motivation to hold it any longer. Really?
