Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2385… but its mostly just multi-week chop.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $28.93… a lousy perform’ relative to the positive main market. Assuming the main market has put in a pre-election high, silver appears vulnerable, and unlikely to break >$32.75. Further, any geo-political shocks would see Gold benefit more.

GDX: miners seeing early weakness, but back to marginally positive.
