Just to be clear, these price fluctuations, much like a flash crash except over a relatively long period, did not occur. Normally this shows as the value hitting the floor around mid September before bouncing back up 10 days later the widget charts however may also show the value effectively at zero from the 2 year max till mid September, when the value then becomes true, and the recent week’s chart shows correctly, I presume.īecause of the very large variance of the price this “event” trashes the y-axis for both widget and online alike (though for the widget all the charts are corrupted), making the resulting chart unintelligible. This is sometimes reflected in the Yahoo online charts, though there it may sometimes affect not all the versions as with the widget, but typically the 6 month only, and/or other periods. Examples are EDIN.L, WWH.L, 3IN.L and GBPEUR=X.
