Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2043, but has cooled to $2032, not helped by the US 10yr printing 4.30%. Broadly choppy. Bearish <$2K, Bullish >$2100. I lean to the latter.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $22.79, largely due to the weak main market. I’d favour Gold, not least for a geo-political fear bid.

GDX: miners are very significantly lower, not helped by the downside reversal in gold/silver, and a weak main market. S/t vulnerable.

notable gold miner: GOLD

Tuesday’s black candle played out.

notable silver miner: SSRM

I shall see the stock as a no-touch into the spring, and would favour AG.

A new intraday low of 4954. Fed press release… due 2pm.
I’d accept the s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls, but NVDA and a Thursday… will likely be problematic.
