Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $1759, $3 above yesterday’s high. Things only turn interesting above the most recent lower high of $1837, >1850 to be decisive.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $22.97, if recovering to the low $23s. A lousy performance… relative to almost anything.

GDX: miners cooling back, for what remains a short/mid term mess. The resilient will hold… whilst the cautious can only justifiably chase >$37.00.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick Gold reflective of the sector. The cautious would have to wait to chase with a decisive move >$23.00. I hold (from the mid $22s).
