Nanex ~ 10-Dec-2013 ~ Gold Futures Halted after Sudden $10 Rally

About 3,000 Gold Futures contracts traded in one second at 08:07:45 on December 10, 2013 sending the price up $10 and tripping circuit breakers which halted trading for 10 seconds. This sort of thing is happening far too often: see also the drops on April 12, 2013,  September 12, 2013, October 11, 2013, November 20, 2013 and November 25, 2013 which also resulted in trading halts.
