Summary

Gold/GLD: gold was initially lower on the CPI data, but swung upward to the $1843s with the downside reversal in the USD. For now… its all s/t chop. Gold bugs need >$1879s…  >psy’ $1900 to be decisive.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $23.74… largely helped via the cooler dollar. Things turn decisive >$25.50.

GDX: miners mostly just dragged lower by the main market.

*I hold the quintet of GOLD, NEM, AG, HL, KGC. The bigger weekly cycles are offering something interesting into the spring, and I’m tempted to add.

notable miner: GOLD

A second day lower… just main market pressure.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t momentum has turned negative, and its arguably leading to some algo selling. Soft support 4480. Only alarm bells if <4451.
