Silver Slammed As Gold Crashes Below $1150 On $10 Billion Post Fed Hike Puke

Speaking of delayed reactions. Here's the last day's action in gold via FinViz:

$1131. 90, down $31.80.

From ZeroHedge:
Gold is suffering the worst 6-week tumble since May 2013 and the last 24 hours have seen the losses accelerate as following The Fed's second rate hike in a decade, someone dumped over $10 billion notional of the precious metal through the futures market. As the dollar surges to 14 year highs (and EUR tumbles) so silver also is plunging most since the election near a $15 handle once again.
over 90,000 contracts were puked through futures in the brief time after yesterday's rate hike decision - over $10 billion notional, and that selling pressure has re-accelerated this morning...
