Not too sure.

Spot gold and gold futures rising today.

I think that last night gold touched an all time high of $2,091.10 before falling back.

Another possible bank in trouble:

Shares of the regional bank tumbled 36% Thursday, slightly paring back its losses after plunging over 50% at one point on reports that the company is the regional bank latest to explore a potential sale. It also dragged down the broader stock market: The Dow fell 400 points, or 1.2%, and the S&P 500 sank 0.9%.
