Gold!

Gold is having a big day.

Futures of the precious metal gained nearly 2%, or about $22 an ounce, to as high as $1,188.30 on Wednesday. That's the highest level in over three months.

This month, gold has rallied more than 5%, and is set for its best month since January according to Bloomberg.

Gold caught a strong bid, rallying 2% after the weaker-than-expected September jobs report, as markets broadly went into "risk off" mode, with traders piling on safer securities like treasuries.

Here's a chart showing the rally on Wednesday and this month:
