Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2430… just $24 shy of the recent hist’ high, helped by lower bond yields and a weaker dollar. A push to psy’ $2500 looks viable next week.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $32.02, if cooling back to currently $31.69. Things turn interesting above the recent multi-decade high of $32.75. From there… $35s, then psy’ $40.

GDX: miners a little choppy, if set for very significant gains, with many stocks having cleared above their May highs.
