Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2659, which is far more impressive relative to higher bond yields and the stronger dollar. A push into the $2700s appears probable… with further adverse news from Ukraine/Russia.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $30.89, pressured by the main market and the dollar. Today is another reminder why I’d see gold as the superior, especially for a ‘geo-pol fear bid’.

GDX: miners are choppy, leaning weak, pressured by the weak main market and silver.
