Summary

Gold/GLD: gold is mostly just churning around $2400. A spike – on geo-political grounds, to psy’ $2500 remains viable in the near term.

Silver/SLV: silver is churning the mid $29s… lousy… relative to the somewhat positive main market. If SPX 5669 is a pre-election high, any main market cooling will be a problem for silver into the fall.

GDX: miners seeing moderate chop.

Monday’s reversal candle played out.

notable silver miner: AG

Struggling with silver. The more cautious will always favour the gold miners, not least GOLD and NEM.

Equities: sp’60min

Best guess… a secondary push upward to 5610, but clearly… no earlier than tomorrow.
