Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2038, pressured by higher bond yields and the moderately stronger dollar. Giant psy’ $2K should hold. I’d accept a burst into the 2100s looks out of range this side of the weekend.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $23.05, pressured by the main market, and the dollar. An eventual push >$30 looks feasible this year, and the cautious will wait to chase until that is printed.

GDX: miners lower with gold/silver, and further not helped by the main market.

*I hold NEM, and am looking to pick up GOLD & AG – perhaps forming the ‘holy trinity’, of gold/silver miners.

notable gold miner: NEM

Lower with the sector. The current candle is a hollow red reversal, and leans s/t bullish.

notable silver miner: AG

Reflective of the sector.
It’d be useful to hold the recent low.

Equities: sp’60min

Choppy, if holding the morning floor of 4704.
