Spot gold prices fell 0.3% to $1,655.86 an ounce, while gold futures fell 0.3% to $1,664.35 an ounce by 19:35 ET (23:35 GMT). Both instruments surged nearly 2% on Wednesday, logging their best day in two months.

While we can see the DJIA move 1000 points during the day, it may close in either direction. I don't think the bears are even close to heading into hibernation. The next few weeks should be very interesting.
