Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2679, pressured by higher bond yields, and the stronger dollar.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $30.23, pressured by the red equity market, and the dollar. The cautious will continue to favour gold, not least for a better ‘fear bid’.

GDX: miners are lower with gold/silver, and further not helped by the main market. Friday’s black candle played out… as they usually do.

Reflective of the sector.
Today’s candle is a hollow red reversal.

notable silver miner: AG

The fifth day lower of six… if broadly choppy.

S/t momentum is due to turn positive into the close, or at the Tuesday open. The daily candle is due to settle as a hollow red reversal, or even outright positive. 590o looks realistic… CPI-Wednesday.
