I mean that it was a remarkable day for the precious metals. The price of gold plunged more than $100 two days ago and it even dove below the key $1,900 level at one point on Wednesday. As the chart below shows, the London Gold Fix dropped from $2,044.50 to $1,939.65, or more than 5 percent, the worst fall in one session during the past several years.

The Fed will remain dovish for an extended period of time, which means that the interest rates will remain at ultra low levels for years (as Powell has admitted recently: hikes are not likely to happen for a very long time). So, we still have lax monetary policy, unsound fiscal policy with rising fiscal deficits and public debts, geopolitical concerns and risk that all the injected stimulus will translate one day into inflation – and that the central banks will allow it to rise above the target.
