Gold and Silver spill on FOMC mintues release

Gold and Silver have sold off in NY after market trading, with both Gold and Silver down over 2% due to perceived "bearish" news in the FOMC minutes from the Feds Oct meeting. 

It seems that some brain dead algos have interrupted the following gibberish from the Fed as "bearish" even though the members of the board have committed to keep buying $85 billion worth of crap mortgage securities and treasuries per month.

Extract from the Oct FOMC Minutes:

In their discussion of monetary policy for the period ahead, members generally noted that there had been little change in the economic outlook since the September meeting, and all members but one again judged that it would be appropriate for the Committee to await more evidence that progress toward its economic objectives would be sustained before adjusting the pace of asset purchases. In the view of one member, the cumulative improvement in the economy indicated that the continued easing of monetary policy at the current pace was no longer necessary. Many members stressed the data-dependent nature of the current asset purchase program, and some pointed out that, if economic conditions warranted, the Committee could decide to slow the pace of purchases at one of its next few meetings. A couple of members also commented that it would be important to continue laying the groundwork for such a reduction in pace through public statements and speeches, while emphasizing that the overall stance of monetary policy would remain highly accommodative as needed to meet the Committee's objectives.

At the conclusion of the discussion, the Committee decided to continue adding policy accommodation by purchasing additional MBS at a pace of $40 billion per month and longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $45 billion per month and to maintain its existing reinvestment policies.
