CME HIKES GOLD AND SILVER MARGINS ALMOST 20% TODAY! Gold and silver keep CRASHING

As we predicted several hours ago, adding insult to injury and likely intensifying the gold and silver smash over the next 48 hours, the CME has just announced an 18.5% margin increase in both gold and silver, effective after the close Tuesday 4/16.
