Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed the $1786s, especially helped by the cooler dollar. A push back above psy’ $1800 is due. Gold bugs should be seeking a June settlement above the monthly 10MA… in the $1820s. Anything >1840 would be decisive.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $26.14, the gains are surprisingly less than gold. Soft target remains psy’ $30, and then 35/37 zone.

GDX: miners higher with gold/silver, and further helped by the main market.

Barrick Gold reflective of the sector. Cyclically very low, and should broadly climb into July.
