I think this may have been asked before, but I cannot find a post. Why does the price drop in Gold and Silver on a Tuesday in particular, compared to other days? Any ideas???
It's because Tuesday and Wednesday are the cheapest days to buy petrol. Perhap people are literally "cashing" in their "money" to buy fuel.
Would it be because on Tuesday Australia time is when the markets in the US open on their Monday morning?
I noticed this but not having been around long enough or recorded any stats on it, I didn't know whether it was true or not. I kind of kept it as my own little theory, obviously not alone. Maybe it's built up tension from the previous weekend's news stories that causes rushes on the pm exchanges, or mondays are contract days or, hang on a minute.......there's a knock at the door......odd........it's some gentlemen in dark suits.........I'll just be back in 1 minu
My take? Don't read too deeply into it.

You are most likely referring to Flash Crash on May 6th, 2010, a Thursday. It may have been reported on Friday in Australia due to our time zone.
I am still here...although there was a man climbing up the power poll outside our neighbourhood today which is a bit strange.... It was great to wait fot Tuesday while I was buying as I could assess how muc the POS would fall, but now that I am fully reloaded, the Tuesday hump is just annoying.
