GDX

Summary

Gold/GLD: gold has printed $1781, distinctly helped by the weaker dollar.  Set for a net weekly gain of around +0.9%. Things turn interesting above the most recent lower high of $1837s, >1850 to be decisive.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $23.83, but that still makes for a net weekly decline of around -2.3%. A truly lousy performance, not least to gold, copper, and the main market.

GDX: miners ending the week on a positive note, but still set for a net weekly decline of around -1.4%. Things turn interesting >$37.00.

*I hold (overly) long the sector via GOLD, NEM, AG, HL, KGC

notable miner:  GOLD

Barrick Gold reflective of the sector. A short/mid term mess. Things turn decisive >$23.00.
