Summary

Gold/GLD: gold continues to churn the low $1900s… partly propped up by the cooler dollar. Another foray into the 1800s appears very probable.

Silver/SLV: silver is churning the 24/25s, helped by the dollar, but also the bouncing main market. Old resistance 21/20s… is new core support.

GDX: miners are seeing considerable chop.

notable miner: NEM

Newmont is struggling, as the 200dma in the $56s still seems on the menu, before the next upward push. Momentum vulnerable to turning negative into the close/early Wednesday.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t momentum is set to turn positive before the close. A failure/reversal from around key levels would be problematic.
