Summary

Gold/GLD: gold is churning around $2764… mostly restrained by higher bond yields. A new hist’ high >$2801 still appears a given… within a few weeks.

Silver/SLV: silver printed a low of $30.47… pretty weak, relative to the broadly strong main market. The cautious will continue to favour gold, not least for a future ‘fear bid’… wherever that might come from.

GDX: miners are moderately lower… mostly pressured by silver.
