Summary

S/t momentum remains prone to turning negative, and I’d be open to a 0.5% cooling wave… lead by some (certainly not all) of the semicons.


notable stock: AMD

Impressive gains, as AMD has the same kind of upside power that SMCI started showing last week.

notable weakness: ALB

Lithium miners all lower. I’ll assume lithium prices are still falling.

notable silver ETF: SLV, daily2

Silver starting to show some upside power, as a daily close >$30 appears due. The cyclical setup leans net bullish into next week.

notable miner: PAAS

Unlike laggy AG, Pan American is higher with silver.

Time for lunch
